I don't know if building the ax25-tools used headers from /usr/src/linux;
I presume not because they're way out of date. However, I do have glibc 2.1
installed (required for ax25-tools from memory) and it of course supplies
Linux 2.2.x headers in /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm. That x
probably doesn't match the x of my actual kernel, but then that doesn't
matter does it?
ax25-tools requires glibc 2.1, and therefore it knows it can get
2.2.x headers in /usr/include anyway, as provided by glibc 2.1.
glibc 2.1 is intended to be used on Linux 2.2. If a package needed
_specific_ 2.2.x headers for the kernel I'm using, it would have to look
elsewhere to get them. /usr/src/linux perhaps, although in my case
it's in /usr/local/src/linux-2.2.
