Thanks Fawad ..
yes this is the case .. if i have an ARM based embedded system, and i'm building the linux distribution which will run on it .. from where the header files under /usr/include/linux will be provided .. more specifically .. which package/s is going to provide files in /usr/include/linux if it wasn't the kernel it self
thanks

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)
Thanks Fawad ..

. 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).
