Thanks! That's very interesting because I just checked and there are many files and directories in /usr/include/linux but the odd thing is some are dated just a week ago and I haven't installed kernel headers on this system in 2 years. I further checked and my 32 bit 14.2 install which began as 12.2 (2008 - which was the only time I installed kernel headers)... has files and directories from 2018 which is about the last time i built a kernel in it.
So I'm wondering if there is overlap, if building kernels creates at least the equivalent of headers?
