How to handle this?  It's just the header, included to be compatible.
I'm not sure. Is there some other non-glibc version around? For example I see http://examples.oreilly.com/palmprog/CDROM/Linux/libs_utils/binutils-2.7/gprof/gmon_out.h
which implies glibc probably just imported that and slapped their own licence on, when there was not necessarily a reason to. (And we do the same of course so can hardly complain :-)).
