This is a two-edged sword. I prefer to keep the exlist as comprehensive as possible, since image size matters for the diskless images (it cuts into the RAM available for jobs). As an ordinary user like me, it is often hard to judge what is safe to remove - I prefer relying on the great work the xCAT team has done to create a useful-in-most-cases exlist, and then modify it on a case-by-case basis for situations such as John's.

I created this issue a few months back for this exact reason.  https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/6235
I feel that the default exlist is causes more confusion than good for those who may be newer or starting out to use xCAT. 
(exlist is not obvious that it means "exclude list" ...  so someone new may read it but not really know what exlist is..)
 
If there's any objections for removing this from the sample images, please start  a discussion in the issue above.. if no immediate objections we may consider to do this sometime in the near future.
 
Thanks,
Victor

Check your exlist file (somewhere under /install/custom). The default version of it excludes /usr/include from your image.

Has anyone else come across an issue installing glibc-headers into an xCAT generated diskless image?  They install clean on my VMs and baremetal systems.
