Subject: dnotify header question

I apologize if this is a repeat question. I didn't see my own question
come by on the mailing list though.

I have been wondering how to get the new dnotify parts currently in
<linux/fcntl.h> into <fcntl.h>. I have recompiled and entirley rebuilt
gcc with the --with-headers option in an effort to get it to
incorporate the new stuff from <linux/fcntl.h>. Is this an false
expectation? Do I have to submit the changes to the glibc folks to get
them into the <fcntl.h>?

Update your glibc. The fixes are already in <bits/fcntl.h> since
september 2000, I'm appending the relevant ChangeLog entries.
