    [PATCH] headers_check: use a different default directory · 1ab7a1f3
    David Woodhouse authored
    `make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which
    requires root, whic is unfortunate.
    
    In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there
    either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases.
    It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't
    put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with
    symlinking to it.  It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so
    leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case.
    
    I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference
    for that; it just seemed reasonable.
