This doesn't come from just redhat or rpm. You should most likely replace
your headers with a fresh copy from the glibc and g++ packages.

The GLIBC documentation instructs the installer to create these links, from
glibc-2.1.3/INSTALL:491
Finally, configure glibc with the option
`--with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.2.1/include'. Use the most recent
kernel you can get your hands on.
An alternate tactic is to unpack the 2.2 kernel and run `make
config' as above. Then rename or delete `/usr/include', create a new
`/usr/include', and make the usual symbolic links of
`/usr/include/linux' and `/usr/include/asm' into the 2.2 kernel
sources. You can then configure glibc with no special options. This
tactic is recommended if you are upgrading from libc5, since you need
to get rid of the old header files anyway.
Note that `/usr/include/net' and `/usr/include/scsi' should *not* be
symlinks into the kernel sources. GNU libc provides its own versions
of these files.
