NO IT IS NOT!!!!

linux/*.h is NOT included in glibc. Download from ftp.gnu.org and
check if you don't believe me!! Just because stupid Debian packagers
put it in their libc package does NOT mean it's part of glibc and it
does NOT mean that bugs in linux/fb.h are glibc bugs!! Blame the
kernel developers (or at least the Debian glibc packagers, if you use
Debian) for this stupid bug, but do not blame the glibc developers,
since it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with them!
