For glibc 2.0.9x.current (i.e., the development release), you definitely
should use the 2.1.xx kernel headers. It'll work perfectly with 2.0 kernels.
The other way round, your glibc will not be able to take advantage of 2.1
features (like RT signals, important for pthreads) if you then boot a 2.1
kernel.
