libc5 is compiled with e.g. the 2.0.0 headers.  So it's absolutly
correct to use these headers for `user' development.

For kernel development you'd probably need the most current headers as
found in /usr/src/linux/include/linux ...

Some weeks ago I'd a similar question like you, but now I think, the
current solution is the most approbiate.
