I'm not found any information about this project at any other sites (not LFS mirrors). Please, answer: what is this project, can I build a system without it?
Erm, from 5.6: "...Linux-Libc-Headers Project, which was designed to maintain an Application Programming Interface (API) stable version of the Linux headers."
Basically we used to copy the kernel headers from the kernel tarball into /usr/include. This makes a lot of kernel internals available to userspace which is not a good thing (the internals should be free to change as the kernel developers see fit). Therefore the linux-libc-headers "cleans up" those headers to expose just those parts that should be available in a userland visible API.
