Sorry I can't be of much help here.  I can only note that I must have missed 
the memo to do this in the first place!  I seem to have learned in linux 101 
days that symlinking the linux headers to anything other than the version 
that built glibc was a bad idea (tm).

Good luck with straightening out the mess.
