+According to the FHS, the /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm should be
+actual directories, not symbolic links to the ones belonging to the current
+kernel. The major advantage is that programs will compile with the headers glibc
+was compiled with, and this may prevent some compiling hell. Until now, in all
+of LFS' history, no compiling problem has been reported by using symlinks. So if
+you're tight on space, we recommend using symlinks. But if you want to be FHS
+compliant, replace the two last lines from the commands above with those:
