You did not understand it:
- If you need to break a rule on a regular base it is nonsense.
- Linux decided to _need_ /usr/src/linux/unclude in the search PATH.
It was needed for Linux-2.2 or earlier and such a decision cannot
ever be changed later.

I send a list and I told them that this list is a constand subject to change.

I do never _repeat_ long descriptions I send before.
NOTE: it turns out that you are not helpful at all and only like to waste my
time. Unless you are able to help with the problems please stop your postings.
