Compiling the Unix/Linux kernel shouldn't need the standard C headers 
(in '/usr/include')
and to link against the system's standard C libraries ('libc', 'libm'), 
the startups (crt*.o) etc.
But producing even a simple C application needs them.

It is adviced that all newbies would try using the '-v' (verbose) option 
when "compiling"
their first apps in order to see what phases will happen during the 
process :

1. preprocessing the user code and standard headers ('#include 
<a_header>' in the user
 Â Â Â  code)
2. compiling the preprocessed source code into assembly code ('.s')
3. using the assembler ('as') to produce object code ('.o')
4. using the linker ('ld') to link all the "lego pieces" into an 
executable program

There are those options for 'partial compile' too, for instance the '-S' 
for leaving the result
to the assembly level. Normally it will be produced to as temporary file 
in '/usr/tmp' or
somewhere but quite many times one wants to see the symbolic machine 
code being
produced from the C source code.

The minimum (kernel) C compiler would include the 'gcc' compiler driver, 
the 'cc1' real
compiler - now including the 'cpp' preprocessor, the assembler ('as') 
and the linker
('collect2' and 'ld') executables plus the "Linux kernel headers". But 
not the Standard C
Library (glibc) development libraries, startups etc.  And not the 
Standard C headers in
'/usr/include'.  The 'runtime libraries' ('.so' files) of course are 
always there (in '/lib*')
for running all the executables coming as default.
