	This is one of the gotchas with using a non-RH kernel on a RH
system. /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm should generally be
symlinks into the include directories for your build tree, e.g.
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/{linux,asm}. RH doesn't do this; instead
it copies files from the RPM build tree into /usr/include/linux, I
think because they don't want to require the end-user to install the
kernel-source RPM just to be able to build simple apps. IMnsHO it's a
mistake.
