With headers installed from Linus's latest tree, I retried (for x86_64) 
the case of a source file containing the single line

#include <linux/elfcore.h>

which (as previously discussed, and Arnd had an RFC patch) I want to use 
in a glibc test of header consistency.  It gives errors "unknown type name 
'elf_greg_t'" etc. (for lots more types as well) - but even before getting 
onto those errors, there's

asm/signal.h:127:2: error: unknown type name 'size_t'

from a header included from linux/elfcore.h.  So this doesn't seem to be 
working as I'd expect yet.
