Incorrect assumption based on previous practices which should have died
a while ago. Go read posts from Linux on LKML from over the summer.
The include files in /usr/include/{linux,asm} should be the kernel
headers which glibc was built with, not the headers for the currently
running kernel.

How does that make installing a custom kernel easier? I compile kernels
from my home directory as my normal user all the time for testing
purposes and have no problems. For external kernel modules, they should
allow an easily definable way to change where the kernel source tree is
and preferably use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ as a default
