Whatever your libc was built against. It shouldn't matter that much,
but when shit hits the fan... you really don't want to be there.
Look at it that way: you don't want to build some object files with one
set of headers, some - with another and link them together. Now,
s/some object files/libc/. With a minimal luck you will be OK, but
it's easier not to ask for trouble in the first place.
