I dont agree, i had to make the directory asm first too... It depends

No you don't have to create any directories first.
But i wrote an email about it.

that is the same problem i guess.
I really don't see how this is possible unless you already have the
directory /tools/include/asm on your system. You wouldn't have that
directory if you were starting in a clean space for Ch. 5. Neither
gcc-pass1 or binutils-pass1 would install this directory.
This is how cp works. Since DEST (/tools/include/asm) doesn't exist,
SOURCE (/sources/linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0/include/asm-i386) is
copied as DEST. It would only become a subdirectory of
/tools/include/asm if DEST existed as a DIRECTORY. If this is not the
situation on ubuntu, then that's f*scked up.
Care to try a sanity test? Start in an empty directory and try the
following commands.
$ mkdir foo
$ touch foo/bar
$ cp -Rv foo bar
`foo' -> `bar'
`foo/bar' -> `bar/bar'
$ ls -R bar
bar:
bar
If cp is really doing what you say it is, then you'll end up with
bar/foo/bar instead of bar/bar.

i did the test. I end up with; foo/bar and bar/bar.
And i think that is the way it's supposed to be.
The first one we created. The latter one we copied....
i can recall that i get a error about not able to create a dir. So i did
also
$ mkdir foo/foo
$ touch foo/foo/bar
$ cp -Rv foo bar
then i get a bar/foo/bar. And that is also as expected.
Maybe i did something wrong back then, but i checked carefully my commands.
