Linux doesn't have struct user. It uses a combinded struct task_struct
for that what struct user & struct proc do on traditional Unix versions
(minus uglinesses like u_error, u_off & co).
The content of <sys/user.h> is provided by glibc just for a number of
broken userspace apps like e.g. gdb.

P.S. Yes, I really wonder why gbd can't use a private include..

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.
