Nope: - You SHOULD NOT be compiling kernel modules against kernel-headers in /usr/include, but against kernel-source in /usr/src/linux (that of course includes one other copy of the headers, and that can be different from those in /usr/include). - For user-space compiles (which is the most common case), you need glibc headers that use kernel-headers in /usr/src. So: - You always need kernel-headers to build user-spaces apps. - They are different from those in /usr/src/linux. - They do not change if you upgrade kernel. You can't live without them. Just include them in glibc-devel. Less headaches. -- J.A.
