Ever since Linus (and I think Alan too) started screaming about people un-tarring kernels in /usr/src/linux and doing all the symlinking to the new headers I've un-tarred to my home directory and done a straight build without any symlinking. That way I know gcc won't complain about the new headers. It's worked very well for me. -Brian
