The way I understand this is that the the headers that are used to
build glibc should be the ones that are in /usr/include. That is they
should not be sanitized after glibc is built (as you suggested). This
also agrees with Linus' recommendation.
Additionally, all major distros that I have investigated use sanitized
headers when building glibc and other userspace apps.
In short, the headers in /usr/include/{linux,asm} should be the ones
that glibc was built against (both kernel developers and glibc
developers agree on that). In case they need to be sanitized (which is
a must), they should be sanitized before building glibc not after.
