The _whole_ point of the kernel-headers package (at least for 2.6, 
because there isn't any for 2.4) is that glibc should NOT be compiled 
against raw kernel headers.

So, either we don't do kernel-header packages and compile against 
current kernel sources -- note this is not recommended by Linus -- or we 
have a userspace header package with sanitized headers for 2.6 with a 
fallback home-made solution for 2.4.

Building against kernel sources _and_ having a kernel-header package 
doesn't really make sense.
