--- Comment #1 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> ---
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Synchronizing_Headers> describes
consensus on how to handle duplication between kernel and userspace
headers. If you wish to extend this to other headers, you should make a
proposal on libc-alpha. I don't think it can sensibly be extended to
bits/fcntl.h, however, because that header is very sensitive to namespace
issues for a wide range of standards supported by glibc, whereas the
kernel headers don't deal with such namespace issues at all.
