You want to remove the links and install the libc header rpm, which will have
all of the appropriate files that should go there.
That thread had to deal with a disagreement b/w some people who felt that the
header files should link directly to the kernel source, and the people who agree
with Linus, that you should have a set header file which is not dependent on
your current kernel.

Not copy, install. Install the libc6-header rpm (the name is something like
that).

No problem. That's what this is here for (well, of course you should be reading
as much documentation as you can find...)
