I see several responses, but nobody bothers to mention that the
current kernel makefiles take care of the header files automatically.
If you have just installed a clean source package, then you should run
a 'make mrproper' and then do a 'make config' (or xconfig or
menuconfig), and the make script will automatically set up internal
links to its own header directories. You should just be aware that
the 'make mrproper' also appears to remove your '.config' file, so you
should save it elsewhere if you have already run a configure.
