Au contraire, the glibc headers cannot be used to build kernel modules, you need the real kernel headers. If this is possible it would be really nice, as it sucks to install 170 MB of stuff just to rebuild the stupid NVIDIA drivers.

There has to be an easier way to build nvidia drivers.
Telling someone on dialup: just install glibc-devel, XFree86-devel, and kernel-source... is a big deal.
