<title>Installation of Linux-Libc-Headers</title>
+<para>For years it has been common practice to use <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
+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>

<para>Install the header files:</para>
<screen><userinput>cp -R include/asm-i386 /tools/include/asm
cp -R include/linux /tools/include</userinput></screen>
+<para>If your architecture is not i386 (compatible), adjust the first command
+accordingly.</para>
