+Why we copy the kernel headers and don't symlink them
+
+In the past, it was common practise for people to symlink the
+/usr/include/linux and asm directories to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
+and asm respectively. This is a bad idea as
+this extract from a post by Linus Torvalds to the Linux Kernel
+Mailing List points out:
+
+I would suggest that people who compile new kernels should:
+
+ - not have a single symbolic link in sight (except the one that the
+ kernel build itself sets up, namely the "linux/include/asm" symlink
+ that is only used for the internal kernel compile itself)
+
+And yes, this is what I do. My /usr/src/linux still has the old 2.2.13
+header files, even though I haven't run a 2.2.13 kernel in a _loong_
+time. But those headers were what glibc was compiled against, so those
+headers are what matches the library object files.
+
+And this is actually what has been the suggested environment for at
+least the last five years. I don't know why the symlink business keeps
+on living on, like a bad zombie. Pretty much every distribution still
+has that broken symlink, and people still remember that the linux
+sources should go into "/usr/src/linux" even though that hasn't been
+true in a _loong_ time.
+
+The relevant part here is where he states that the headers should
+be the ones which glibc was compiled against. These are
+the headers which should remain accessable and so by copying them, we ensure
+that we follow these guidelines. Also note that as long as you don't have
+those symlinks, it is perfectly alright to have the kernel sources
+in /usr/src/linux.
