Note! You only have to have those symlinks on broken systems such
as Redhat.
Sane systems such as Debian have a copy of the kernel header files
that the C library was compiled against in /usr/include/{linux,asm}
instead of symlinks to the kernel source. Do not play the symlink
trick on those systems.
Before this turns into a flamewar: this has been discussed 20 or
so times before, and both Linus and the glibc developers agree
that you a distribution should do the latter. The headers you use
to compile userland binaries should be the same as the C library
was compiled against.
If you need to compile a standalone module use -I/usr/src/linux/include
