Yes, I know. both issues are duplicated on bitbucket and github, and
it's not clear which of the two places is the official bug tracker for
musl-cross. I asked Gregor about this at
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross/issue/6/non-standard-kernel-headers-causing-issues,
but his reply was not very clear (at least not clear to me).

Best regards,

Thomas
