  I don't think it's important whose problem it is but how to solve it
:). Including kernel headers isn't wise technique but I understand that
glibc contains only old header file and so Samba had to get the
definitions elsewhere...
  When I was implementing user space tools handling quota I was thinking
where to get the headers and finally I decided that having own local
include is the easiest way (this way quota tools are able to handle all
existing kernels independently of the kernel used during the time of
compilation).
  I think that this way would be also the most reliable for Samba at
least until the headers in glibc are changed to newer ones...
