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..
