I think am not able to understand your question correctly; If you are asking for how to provide include files found in /usr/include/linux for specific embedded system then I am not 100% sure about it, but I know that /usr/include/ directory contains 'header files' needed for compiling user space source code and /usr/include/<package_name> provides application specific header files. So, /usr/include/linux actually provides header-files for applications dealing with Linux Kernel and if you embedded system or processor supports running Linux then you can use those found in your normal distribution (might be provided with the tool-chain specific for that embedded system). If your embedde system provides support for running applications exclusively on processor (means only single application running on embedded system like any dos/assembly/batch program) then header-files support depends on the tool-chains of embedded system only which might support normal c library functions (like glibc). -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
