I was just recalling this issue too. On the other hand one should maybe 
ask the question if it is reasnoble that the linux-kernel and glibc 
should require coordination like that. Wouldn't it be a better solution 
to adjust the kernel timex.h such that glibc timex.h can wrap it with a 
suitable #define such that copy-n-paste issues can be avoided?
This way would the actual definitions be in the linux kernel tree and 
only conveyed thru to user-space programmers.
The glibc would then only need to supply the call wrappers and they 
would require updates more rarely.
