Linux kernel headers install does not need the kernel to be configured. Dropping this unneccessary step.

10 I am getting compiler errors when trying to compile glibc 2.3.2 using
11 the kernel headers from linux 2.6.5. The headers from linux 2.6.3 work
14 I've traced the cause of the problem to a change made in
15 ./include/asm-x86_64/unistd.h in the 2.6.4 release.
19 +#include <linux/linkage.h>
20 +#include <linux/compiler.h>
21 +#include <linux/types.h>
22 +#include <asm/ptrace.h>
24 +asmlinkage long sys_ptrace(long request, long pid,
25 + unsigned long addr, long data);
26 +asmlinkage long sys_iopl(unsigned int level, struct pt_regs regs);
27 +asmlinkage long sys_ioperm(unsigned long from, unsigned long num, int
30 +asmlinkage long sys_rt_sigaction(int sig,
31 + const struct sigaction __user *act,
32 + struct sigaction __user *oact,
35 +#endif /* __ASSEMBLY__ */
37 Within glibc, ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/syscall.S ends up
38 including this file, which chokes the assembler with the struct
39 declarations in the above #include's.
