I would take it to mean that /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm should be a |
| 27 |
directory and contain the files that are currently residing in the |
| 28 |
asm-x86 directory. For example: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
# rm asm |
| 31 |
# mkdir asm |
| 32 |
# mv -- asm-x86/* asm/ |
| 33 |
# rmdir asm-x86 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
