--- Comment #12 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
I think elf.h should continue to expose these constants, possibly by including
sys/auxv.h or similar. There's no sense in causing gratuitous breakage.

If incompatible header changes that break applications that are currently using
the headers *correctly* are acceptable in glibc, then certainly changes that
only break bogus applications should be acceptable; for starters, the implicit
inclusion of sys/sysmacros.h, which defines macros named major() and minor(),
from nearly every standard header, should be removed.
