This gave birth to the Linux-Libc-Headers Project, which was designed to maintain an API stable version of the Linux headers. Recently this project stopped producing updates, so the Cross-LFS team started development on our own project to sanitize the headers. Install the header files that are common to all architectures: install -dv /usr/include cp -av include/{asm-generic,linux,mtd,scsi,sound} /usr/include/ Install the header files that are specific to this architecture: cp -av include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm Contents of Linux-Headers Installed headers /usr/include/{asm,asm-generic,linux,mtd,scsi,sound}/*.h Short Descriptions /usr/include/{asm,asm-generic,linux,mtd,scsi,sound}/*.h The Linux API headers /usr/include/{asm,linux}/*.h
