IIRC, there was a time (long before 2.0) that kernel builds did look for
includes in /usr/include/, so you had to unpack (or symlink) your kernel in
/usr/src/linux/. Fortunately the include path was changed to put
root_of_build/include first.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
