Then please tell me why PPPIOCNEWUNIT is only defined in linux/if_ppp.h 
and not net/if_ppp.h which is still true for glibc-2.3.2. And please 
don't tell me to ask the glibc folks. There are inconsistencies between 
kernel headers and userland headers which force the inclusion of kernel 
headers in userland applications.
