Actually use of /usr/src/linux is *highly*
discouraged. It is far better to use the /usr/src/linux-...
or better still create a /usr/src/local/linux or some such
directory and use that for compiling kernels and tweaking
and experimenting. You can royally jack up your install
by using /usr/src/linux as a kernel playground.

Unless Linus got tired of people jacking up their systems
and changed the behavior of the kernel libraries.
