- 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 this should not
- be done. This gave birth to the Linux-Libc-Headers Project, which was
- designed to maintain an Application Programming Interface (API) stable
- version of the Linux headers.</para>
