glibc MUST use the headers from the glibc-kernel-headers spells, NOT 
from the linux spell. See 
http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7560 and its reference: 
http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Kernel/usr-src-linux-symlink.html.

Source Mage is the only distribution i'm aware of that is still using 
(and which still have users trying to use) headers from the linux spell.

So, not providing /usr/src/linux is in fact a good way to show this kind 
of bug. If http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8125 is related to 
this glibc supposed bug, then it should be marked as INVALID.
