Subject: /usr/include/{linux,asm}

Why /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm in Owl are symlinks and
not copies of headers against which glibc was built?  Shouldn't these
be part of glibc package, or at least be independent from whatever
goes into /usr/src/linux?

According to what Linus says in
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0007.3/0587.html ,
symlinking /usr/include/{linux,asm} to /usr/src/linux is considered
harmful.
