+??	What version of the Linux kernel headers should be used?

+{AJ,UD} The headers from the most recent Linux kernel should be used.
+The headers used while compiling the GNU C library and the kernel
+binary used when using the library do not need to match.  The GNU C
+library runs without problems on kernels that are older than the
+kernel headers used.  The other way round (compiling the GNU C library
+with old kernel headers and running on a recent kernel) does not
+necessarily work.  For example you can't use new kernel features when
+using old kernel headers for compiling the GNU C library.
