Rule 1. Applications must not include include kernel headers directly.
Rule 2. Any glibc that has a symlink from /usr/include/{linux,asm} to /usr/src/linux/include/{linux,asm} is wrong.
Relying on /usr/include/{linux,asm} always pointing at the current kernel source is broken as designed. /usr/include/{linux,asm} must be real directories that are shipped as part of glibc, not symlinks to some random version of the kernel. Fix /usr/include.
