5 parce qu'il s'agit des en-têtes qui ont servi à compiler la glibc, et qu'il
6 vaut mieux avoir des en-têtes en accord avec les bibliothèques.

8 Voilà l'explication par Linus Torvalds lui même :

10 I would suggest that people who compile new kernels should:
11
12 - not have a single symbolic link in sight (except the one that the
13 kernel build itself sets up, namely the "linux/include/asm" symlink
14 that is only used for the internal kernel compile itself)
15
16 And yes, this is what I do. My /usr/src/linux still has the old 2.2.13
17 header files, even though I haven't run a 2.2.13 kernel in a _loong_
18 time. But those headers were what glibc was compiled against, so those
19 headers are what matches the library object files.
20
21 And this is actually what has been the suggested environment for at
22 least the last five years. I don't know why the symlink business keeps
23 on living on, like a bad zombie. Pretty much every distribution still
24 has that broken symlink, and people still remember that the linux
25 sources should go into "/usr/src/linux" even though that hasn't been
26 true in a _loong_ time.
