That's something which is gotten from there, then.  "probably
someplace else".  (conf.h?  another header...)

There are a bunch of things for which you can ask that (e.g. lots of
stuff which typically would live in /usr/include/machine, but also a
few other files in sys/sys).

The answer is "because the way kernel headers get moved into user-land
is that the whole directories are either copied or symlinked..."

That's a bug, not a feature.
