Note! You only have to have those symlinks on broken systems such as Redhat.
Sane systems such as Debian have a copy of the kernel header files that the C library was compiled against in /usr/include/{linux,asm} instead of symlinks to the kernel source. Do not play the symlink trick on those systems.
Before this turns into a flamewar: this has been discussed 20 or so times before, and both Linus and the glibc developers agree that you a distribution should do the latter. The headers you use to compile userland binaries should be the same as the C library was compiled against.
If you need to compile a standalone module use -I/usr/src/linux/include
