Hm. Nope. I just tried this and got:

# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-alpha asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -I/usr/include/ncurses
-DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses/curses.h>" -c lxdialog.c -o lxdialog.o
In file included from /usr/include/time.h:86,
from /usr/include/sys/select.h:32,
from /usr/include/sys/types.h:125,
from dialog.h:22,
from lxdialog.c:22:
/usr/include/timespec.h:1: linux/timespecbits.h: No such file or
directory
make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Do you have another? Is my only
recourse to go the most recent glibc snapshot?
