Ok, my naive assumption that this will be easy, has gone :)

I do not yet understand the build process. Jumping into a 
/usr/src/lib/libc and do a make picks up the system headers and not my 
modified machine/profile.h. Going to /usr/src and do a make -DNO_CLEAN 
all doesn't pick it up either.

What step do I miss? This is on CURRENT.

Thanks,

P.S, even a pointer to read all through would be good.
