glibc provides /usr/include/linux/ and /usr/include/asm/.
This is probably best considered an upstream bug.
The kernel developers are fairly unanimous that glibc has no business
using /usr/include/linux/ or /usr/include/asm/. These are to be used
for building kernel modules and things that depend on specific kernel
versions.
The recommendation for glibc is to use copies of whatever files it needs
in some other directories.
Thanks,
