In general, it has proven a very bad idea to move "shared" header files between projects to libosmocore, particularly if the related interfaces are still subject to being changed.  This means that a lot of chagnes to the header file will introduce all kinds of forward/backward API compatibility problems.

We've had "gsm_data_shared.h" which was shared between openbsc + osmo-bts for a long time, and it was a nightmare as you always needed to have two very closely-matching bodies of the source repositories in order to build osmo-bts at all.

I prefer to have each project build by its own, with *very* little external depedencies.  incompatible versions of a given protocol should be detecetd by having version numbers inside the protocol itself.
