Hello Henning.

First off, the last item: /usr/include/linux _is_ a link to the kernel
includes. How do I change that? Where do I get the right include files?

About the above includes: I've been looking around in the source files,
and found quite a few references to sys/ and linux/ include files. One of
the reasons I finally put the message on the list is that I got completely
lost in all the duplicate/repeated includes.

gcc 3.2.2
kernel is 2.4.20
distro is Slackware 8.1 - with many updates
glibc 2.3.1
