Hmmm ... then you're using a symbolic link from

          /usr/src/linux/include/linux

to

          /usr/include/linux

which may cause more trouble in future, because with new gcc
there are special features only usabel for kernel compiles.
Therefore newer glibc versions have their own /usr/include/linux/
tree which is usable for user land programs.  With the glibc
version of linux/compiler.h  you do not need to remove or
define __KERNEL__ ...

And as you see, the split between user and kernel land features
is spreading more and more.
