I thought we were finished with this kind of nonsense years ago.
REMOVE THE linux SYMLINK!!!

The kernel developers have gone to great lengths to keep people from
hosing their system.  Your distro should have kernel headers that get
installed into /usr/include.  These kernel headers provide a stable
build environment.  You will probably end up with 2.6.12 headers or
perhaps a lower version.  Please use them or expect no end of problems
(like SEGFAULTs).  Your glibc and glibc-dev was built against a
particular set of kernel headers.  Don't lightly change things unless
you know exactly what you're doing (and if you did, you still probably
wouldn't).
