It's perfectly fine as far as I know.  Every major distro does it.  In
fact one of the main reasons to install l-l-h is so the glibc you
installed will always have a known set of headers to interface with
the kernel.  All that happens is that your glibc can't use the new
kernel features that come up, but other applications that are aware of
them can.

For instance, 2.6.14 includes something called FUSE (File Systems in
Userspace) which allows ordinary users to mount various filesystems in
userspace (I'm bungling the description).  Anyway, my l-l-h headers
are 2.6.12.0, but I updated the kernel to 2.6.14.2 and used the FUSE
interface to my heart's content.  Just an example.
