Almost every kernel that have looked in (including 2.0.x) looks in
/usr/include.
Anytime a file needs an include file it it referenced lise this:
#include <linux/whatever.h>
This is /usr/include/linux/whatever.h. It is assumed by Linus,
et. al., that /usr/include/linux, /usr/include/asm, and
/usr/include/asm-i386 will all be symlinks to the actual kernel
source. The only solution for me has been to move the offender out of
the way and temporarily create the expected symlinks while I compile
the kernel and then put everything back when I am done. I have put
this in a script since I try to keep up with the 2.1.x kernels and
have to compile somewhat frequently, but this is still kind of a
pain. Maybe someone else can tink of some better solution/compromise.
