From: Bastian Blank <wa...@debian.org>

The following user-space program fails to compile:

    #include <linux/socket.h>
    #include <sys/socket.h>
    int main() { return 0; }

The reason is that <linux/socket.h> tests __GLIBC__ to decide whether it
should define various structures and macros that are now defined for
user-space by <sys/socket.h>, but __GLIBC__ is not defined if no libc
headers have yet been included.

It seems safe to drop support for libc 5 now.

This patch was previously mentioned on netdev by Manuel Prinz, but
without a full explanation.  Hopefully the above is sufficient.

Bastian, please add your S-o-b.

Ben.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
