Are they michael> the headers used to build this kernel? There are two things with headers: - they came from kernel - they are used by glibc running a kernel and a different kernel-headers is right running a glibc and different kernel-headers for the ones that you used to compile glibc can harm. That made that know glibc provides the headers that it has compiled against. This let less space for errors.
