No. You're usually much better off using the kernel headers against
which the glibc (libc6, etc.) packages on your system were compiled. If
you really know what you're doing and really need newer kernel headers,
then use the -I flag to gcc to add the appropriate kernel include
directory.
See /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian.gz for the rationale behind this,
as well as
