This practice was stopped (supposedly) back in the 1.3.xx days.
Do _NOT_ symlink /usr/include/foo into the kernel source tree. Whatever
kernel headers you used to build glibc are what are supposed to be in
/usr/include. If you rebuild glibc, then the kernel source headers you
used to build it should be moved into /usr/include until the next time you
rebuild glibc.
As for where the kernel can be built -- anywhere on the system you want
to. Who should build it? Ordinary_user. root will have to move it to
/boot, change /etc/lilo.conf (or whatever other boot loader you might
use), but that's it.
I suspect the patches had errors when applied.
