+[A26] {PB} This was necessary for libc5, but is not correct when using
+glibc.  Including the kernel header files directly in user programs
+usually does not work (see Q21).  glibc provides its own <net/*> and
+<scsi/*> header files to replace them, and you may have to remove any
+symlink that you have in place before you install glibc.  However,
+/usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux should remain as they were.
