23 I can back this up also, I've not had a headers-related problem since I
24 merged 2.6.6-r1 when it had just hit portage.... emerge -e world, 400+
25 packages. Even mplayer compiles :)

27 Portage 2.0.51_pre12 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3,
28 glibc-2.3.4.20040605-r1, 2.6.7-hb3)
29 =================================================================
30 System uname: 2.6.7-hb3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm)
31 Gentoo Base System version 1.5.1
32 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4
33 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1
34 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1
35 CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -mcpu=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer"

37 My understanding is that glibc >=2.3.4 no longer references
38 /usr/src/linux, therefore it would be beneficial to have a solid ~arch
39 2.6 headerset for the sake of nptl and sanity and such.

41 The change from linux-headers-2.6.6 linux26-headers also went fine here.
