The consensus is that it's better for user-level programs to be compiled with the same set of kernel file than libc was compiled with. Obviously, if you want to compile your own kernel-level stuff that's a problem. But the kernel itself shouldn't look in /usr/include. I wasn't aware that 2.1 was looking here. Hmmm.
