for 2.2.x you don't need to add a route for the main interface it willd ot
it for you, if you try it will give a harmless error.

ninja >/usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
ninja >/usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386

that is needed only to compile 2.2 specific apps ..some of the headers in
the libc6-dev package have been more reliable for me for most other apps.
