No _program_ should be looking at kernel sources. If there is a userspace program that fails to compile without a link to the current kernel sources, you should file a bug report against it. Only external kernel modules should require a link to the kernel sources, and then only for the sources you want to build the module against, not the currently running version. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
