As to whether they should be symlinks to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux, there may be something relevant in the
glibc2 FAQ.

I couldn't, either, on Slackware 3.5 (Linux 2.0.34).
I didn't have any difficulties (compiling) on Slackware 3.0 (Linux
2.1.105 and glibc2). Which, of course, has different include file
versions.
My guess is that your only options are to stick earlier pppd or
upgrade to Linux 2.1.x.
