Bug#863914: linux-libc-dev: Install separate from /usr/include
Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 4.11-1~exp2
Severity: wishlist
Certain low-level programs and libraries, notably glibc, would like to
be able to make sure that they do *not* use any system headers during
their build, other than the kernel's headers and the ones provided by
the compiler (stddef.h, stdarg.h etc) It would be much easier to arrange
this if the kernel's headers were installed in a location separate from
/usr/include and then symlinked into /usr/include. (It would be fine to
symlink just the directories.)
