I guess that doesn't /really/ solve the problem that you're facing though... Headers being VERY version dependent, and versioning themselves with the info from the kernel Makefile...
NO. The headers in /usr/include/* CANNOT be used when building anything to be loaded into the kernel. This is just one part of a much bigger problem...another being the "versioning" stuff.
