It is not on Debian systems. The includes belonging to the libc are in
/usr/include. There is no symlink /usr/src/linux pointing to them.

Somewhere in the source dir (e.g.
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25/include). If you installed the headers
from a kernel header package (which you can create using make-kpgk
btw), they are in /usr/src/kernel-headers-$version.
