Yes, fixincludes is a massive hack.  Yes, it should not exist.  But,  
let's keep in mind, it was invented to solve this type of problem.   
Doing up a fixincludes hack is better than requiring that people  
upgrade glibc.  And, if that work is done, it lessons the impact of  
the change and that would be a good thing.
