You don't really want to do this. If /usr/include/blkid is a symlink to 
/tools/include/blkid, make install in chapter6 might install the headers 
in /tools and that's not what we want. Furthermore, make install might 
fail because it wants to create a directory but there's a symlink in 
place. Special case is just to symlink the header files if there aren't 
many to a directory in /usr/include.
