The kernel headers that applications use need to be the kernel headers 
that glibc is compiled against.   I had thought that the 
glibc-kernel-headers was created so that this could be possible, as per 
bug 3771 (http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3771).

Hope the stuff written there makes a bit of sense...
