49 kernel headers (straight from a kernel tarball) in <filename
50 class="directory">/usr/include</filename>, but over the last few
51 years, the kernel developers have taken a strong stance that this
52 should not be done. This gave birth to the Linux-Libc-Headers Project,
53 which was designed to maintain an API stable version of the Linux
54 headers.</para>
