This is not correct. When _installing_ Asterisk it does this. This is because the Makefile rightly assumes that it _owns_ the /usr/include/asterisk directory, so that it can ensure that old headers are not left around to cause problems.

If you are distributing your application as a patch against an Asterisk source tree, then you don't need to do anything special at all. If you are not, then why do you need to install a header into /usr/include/asterisk?

You are seven releases behind, and sometime today you will eight releases behind. Not that it has any impact on this issue, but there have been probably more than 200 bugs fixed since 1.2.4.
