+nm-compat-headers
+=================
+
+When we build against older system headers, we sometimes
+want to use newer features. This directory contains compat
+headers that patch the included sources with what we need.
+
+The goal is similar to linux-headers directory, but the approach
+is different. The former completely replaces system headers
+while this uses system headers and extends them.
