+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

Note that @file{/usr/include/net} and @file{/usr/include/scsi} should
@strong{not} be symlinks into the kernel sources. GNU libc provides its
