a lot of the linux docs (including the ones in the kernel source) are old,
and confusing about the use of kernel headers. I'm no programmer, but as I
understand it:
the kernel headers in /usr/src or /usr/include/linux, should be the ones
that *glibc* was built against; not the ones for your current kernel.
otherwise programs may be trying to use things out of the kernel, that glibc
doesn't know about; and you can really shoot yourself. Linus has ranted
about this on the kernel mailing list. 
unfortunately, the kernel docs have not yet been updated to say this. :(

when you build a kernel; build it in your home directory; and only su - root
when you need to do the 'make modules_install' and copying the kernel image
and System.map to /boot.
