Yes.

I am suggesting that firstly, someone send a patch to the mainline
kernel which changes -I/usr/include/slang to -I=/usr/include/slang in
that Makefile.

Secondly, I'm suggesting that we add a line to kernel_do_install() in
kernel.bbclass which does a sed on the Makefile as installed into
$kerneldir which changes -I/usr/include/slang to -I=/usr/include/slang.

We can then drop the patch I added to the linux-yocto kernels.

This is all that should be needed, it should fix all the issues people
have reported in a way that is acceptable to everyone.

Cheers,

Richard
