<title>Installation of Linux-Libc-Headers</title>

<para>For years it has been common practice to use so-called <quote>raw</quote>
kernel headers (straight from a kernel tarball) in <filename class="directory">/usr/include</filename>, but over the
last few years, the kernel developers have taken a strong stance that such
things should not be done.  Thus was born the linux-libc-headers project,
designed to maintain an API stable version of the Linux headers.</para>
