Makes that -su don't upgrade kernel if don't have kernel headers

Hello pals. A annoying issue is taking my patience out. Most of upgrades should be done in two weeks. Why? 'cause problems like this

Building fglrx module for 3.2.8-1-ARCH kernel ...
Failed!!! Check out log: /var/log/catalyst-install.log
==> Generating module dependencies
==> Creating gzip initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img
==> Image generation successful

and this happens even kernel upgrades when kernel-headers aren't available to download. I should wait some weeks and do a new -Syu to make them effective.

Problems while this.... virtualbox don't works and ati driver don't works well. And sounds so strange that OS 64bits don't run on virtualbox during this problem, but 32 bit runs

There's some way to tell pacman that, while not present kernel-headers, don't upgrade kernel?

file /lib/modules/3.2.8-1-ARCH/build/arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h says: COMPAT_ALLOC_USER_SPACE=arch_compat_alloc_user_space
make: Entrando no diretório `/usr/src/linux-3.2.8-1-ARCH'

There is no package called kernel-headers.  The package you need is called linux-headers and is released for download at the same time as the kernel.
