Suppose there exists a directory (let's call it /usr/src/linux/include, just for concreteness) that contains all the kernel headers and no other headers. Then my Makefiles can pass -nostdinc -isystem $(gcc -print-file-name=include) -isystem /usr/src/linux/include in CFLAGS to see only the kernel's headers and the compiler's headers. Without such a directory, the only way to get the same effect that I can think of is to manually create that directory somehow. It'd be much easier to do this in linux-libc-dev, which already knows what all the files are. zw
