-I/usr/local/src/linux/v2.2.7 ayuda en estos casos. El programa va a
incluir <asm/foo/bar/baz.h>; si utilizar -I para decirle donde encontrar las
cabeceras, se arregla tu problema.

Well, this kinda belongs to the can of worms we fondly
remember as "Debian's /usr/src policy" ;-). Lets see if I can address
this. Firstly, kernel headers are not merely for libc6
compilation. In fact, /usr/src/linux is not referenced at all by
normal compilation processes: those depend, in particular, on the
symbolic link /usr/src/linux-2.0.32, which is provided by either
kernel-headers-2.0.32 or by kernel-source-2.0.32.
/usr/src/linux is meant to be a link to the chronologically
latest installed set of kernel headers
/usr/src/linux-X.X.XX is meant to be a link to a specific version
of kernel include files.

Then that means you could not have more than one kernel
headers or source packages installed. I have, at the moment, 2
header packages and 4 source packages on my machine. If they all
tried to go into /usr/src/linux; that would be chaos. Espescially if
/usr/src/linux were merely overlaid with the most recent install
(imagine installing 2.0.34 over 2.1.82 -- what a mess)
