hppa kernel-headers.deb and offset.h

Hi Bdale,
Our kernel-headers debs are missing asm/offset.h, which is created
late on in a kernel build. I only just noticed, when I tried to build gdb. I'm guessing that deb is created without doing a full kernel build, so the file isn't created. Note offset.h is different for 32 and 64 bit kernels, and we want a 32 bit version in the kernel-headers deb.

Maybe the kernel should build offset.h as part of make dep, or something.

Also...
glibc build should use kernel-headers, but I guess libc6-dev_2.2.4-6 was built using some local kernel tree for the headers, and has picked up a 64 bit offset.h. so, anyone trying to build gdb will have to replace their offset.h.

Ewww.

Yes. Building the file during make dep, and *not* removing it during make clean (remove it during distclean, leave it present during clean) would fix the problem.

So, we've never had a real kernel-headers package before. I guess once we get one that's right, we should re-spin glibc even if it's a binNMU.

*sigh*. whenever i built glibc, i ensured it was built with 32-bit kernel headers.

Revolutions do not require corporate support.
