Lemme see if I understand this correctly: you'd like for the 0day folks
to take those perf-*src-pkg builds, put them on an *old* distro and see
if it builds. Am I close?
Apply the patch, try to build it, it doesn't matter where you build it,
only that after applying the patch I want to know if it doersn't build,
so that I can look at it earlier than when it gets to my attention by
merging upstream, etc.
And do that with the headers in tools/ which do not have the new
changes
and see if they still build?
Or?
Alternatively, we can always go back to keeping the headers in sync with
those in tools/ and f'get about it.
We're doing it already, Peter wants to help me with it, and I think this
has value.

Thoughts?
