[lfs-support] 7.1-rc1 pcre

A recent incident in compiling 'udev-181' TRIGGERed me to again wonder what's going on and where and how I've been doing things wrong. I figure maybe this time, with a real world example, a good soul will understand what's been bothering me and take the time to calmly explain in _plain_ English

Hi Andy Bruce, Many thanks for your prompt, clear and helpful answers. Andy: You should leave the kernel headers in /usr/include as they were when you installed glibc. Bruce: The kernel varies, but you build glibc against one specific kernel. The programs that are built later need to be
