There's a whole thread on this topic in debian-powerpc from back in January of 2000 -- search for ``Subject: Continuing annoyances...'' or ``Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'' in the archive. Basically, though, Linus has made it pretty clear that you shouldn't be including any header files from the kernel sources -- you should use the header files provided with libc (the header files in /usr/include/linux come from the libc6-dev package), or copy them into your source tree. Using the kernel header files directly can cause major breakage when you upgrade your kernel. (As a point of interest, I recently had to copy a header file (openpic.h) *from* /usr/include/linux back into the kernel tree, because someone had taken out some symbols that the kernel needed. They're back now.)
