make headers_install

[Mark Hills]

Hi David, I tried to update my kernel headers using the instructions in 
Documentation/make/headers_install.txt. I followed the example:

  make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include

but it installed them in /usr/include/include. So I modified the path:

  make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr

The command installed the headers, but then automatically deleted 
/usr/include/*.h (nasty!). This is with kernel 2.6.35.4.

Do the docs need an update (and I should always be installing to a staging 
area?) Or is this a bug in the process -- where is should be removing 
unknown files in /usr/include/linux or similar?

I seem to remember that I used to be able to install headers direct to the 
system, is this still the case?

Thanks
