There aren't any plans to use 3.7 for the headers, since we are tracking
the headers
with the same cadence as the yocto release kernels. Otherwise, we'd really
need
to have all versions available, and keeping things clean and focussed was
the
goal.

3.8 is the next likely update.

That being said,  since the libc-headers version is controlled by the
LINUXLIBCVERSION in tcmode-default.inc, simply having 3.7 headers
available shouldn't cause any problems or disconnects.

So we can open up the discussion if we want to carry extra libc headers or
keep with the current strategy. I've added Richard explicitly to the cc' so
he
can jump in as appropriate.

Cheers,

Bruce
