Do you (and other distributions) build applications against these headers
as well, or are those only used for building glibc itself?


These are the kernel UAPI headers, so of course they are used by
everything.

Do you rebase the UAPI headers to the latest kernel release even after arelease of the distribution, as part of regular maintenance?

If not, how do you get SYS_ macros for the system calls you backportinto your stable kernel?


Thanks,
Florian
