This description (and the subject line of the commit) implies that you
are removing the include unconditionally.  But actually, you are only
removing it for non-glibc platforms.  

Also, the change itself seems slightly backwards since the ptrace
manpage suggests that <sys/user.h> is actually the right header to be
using for these definitions and possibly it's <asm/ptrace.h> that should
be eliminated.  Maybe that's not feasible here but it would be nice if
the patch header explained why.  And...

... this change is not mentioned in the commit message.  Why have you
added the tarball to SRC_URI directly (rather than letting the .inc do
that as it did before)?
