It is required to use all parts of the ebuild. header files are also |
| 10 |
runtime parts. |

If you wan to do this, you'd probably have to change the libc ebuild to |
| 17 |
have an embedded (or binary-only) useflag that would not install the libc |
| 18 |
headers (and thus not need the kernel headers). |

No, embedded might be rethought to do things properly. |

+1 vote to take spiders mail seriously and solve the problem properly. |

First by putting the headers in RDEPEND and adding a new variable in a |
| 33 |
new EAPI version to solve it for new ebuilds. |
