<title>Installation of Linux API Headers</title>
<para>The Linux kernel needs to expose an Application Programming Interface
(API) for the system's C library (Glibc in LFS) to utilize. This is done
by way of sanitizing various C header files that are shipped in the Linux
kernel source tarball.</para>
<para>Apply a <command>sed</command> subsitution to suppress the
installation of header files in <filename
class='directory'>/usr/include/scsi</filename>. The versions provided by
Glibc will be used instead:</para>
<screen><userinput>sed -i '/scsi/d' include/Kbuild</userinput></screen>
<para>Install the header files:</para>
<screen><userinput>make mrproper
make headers_check
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr headers_install</userinput></screen>
