glibc and kernel headers
I noticed that glibc depends in kernel-headers, and that they are the headers of the 2.6.23.1 kernel and the current kernel is 2.6.23, futhermore, kernel-headers has one directory, for it's headers, and in /usr/src there is another one for another headers, my question is
Must glibc use the headers of the kernel in wich it was compiled?
just curiosity

Ideally... however, up until the headers were provided with the kernel, the sanitized headers package lagged a bit behind the kernel version. So I guess it is not essential.
