I'm not sure how disposing of sysdeps/generic would work in the case of a header (non-installed, overridden by some configurations) that's used by multiple subdirectories. That's most cases of files in sysdeps/generic (there are also some installed headers there, and some .c files, and default ABI test baselines), and you'd need to have another place to put them (like top-level bits/ is for bits/ headers). -- Joseph S.
