+After installing GNU libc, you may need to remove or rename

+@file{include/asm-$@var{ARCHITECTURE}} taken from the Linux source

+@var{ARCHITECTURE} will be the machine architecture for which the

+to do this if you did not specify an alternate kernel header source
+using @samp{--with-headers}. The intent here is that these directories
+should be copies of, @strong{not} symlinks to, the kernel headers used to
+build the library.
Note that @file{/usr/include/net} and @file{/usr/include/scsi} should
@strong{not} be symlinks into the kernel sources. GNU libc provides its
