However, what's much worse is that this already has put series of 
constants which are part of the ABI under __KERNEL__.  This is a very 
bad thing.

i'm sure i'm just being dense but i have no clue what you're referring
to.  AFAICT, that patch simply removed some redundant preprocessor
directives.  am i missing something?

I'm referring to the the patch that caused the redundant ifdefs, which 
was a recent change which among other things broke klibc.

ah, i didn't realize that the redundant ifdef's themselves were a
symptom of another problem.
