Sorry ? If i trust any header files, than those which came with
my kernel. How can i be sure that those who came with my distro
do match my kernel ?

And yes, there is a very good reason why i have /usr/include/linux
and /usr/include/asm as a symlink.

BTW: linux/autoconf.h should ALWAYS match the kernel you are running.
(and not the kernel which someone from your distro is running)

Yey, but then install the headers at a standard location, (like
als SuSE releases did)
