    <title>Installation of Linux-Headers</title>

    <para>The Linux kernel needs to expose an Application Programming Interface
    (API) for the system's C library (Glibc in LFS) to utilize.  This is done
    by way of sanitizing various C header files that are shipped in the Linux
    kernel source tarball.</para>

    <para>Apply the following patch to provide <command>unifdef</command>, which
    the installation of the kernel headers requires:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../linux-&linux-version;-unifdef-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the header files:</para>

<screen><userinput>make mrproper
make headers_check
cp -av usr/include/* /tools/include</userinput></screen>
