+Linux headers in your sysroot.  The way to do this varies per system.

+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   $> apt download linux-libc-dev
+   $> dpkg -x linux-libc-dev*deb .
+   $> mv usr/include/* /path/to/sysroot/include
+   $> rm -rf usr linux-libc-dev*deb
+   $> ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/asm ~/Programming/sysroot/include/asm
