The headers are from 3.3. But -- maybe this is the issue -- I 
followed Linus's suggestion a little while back and built a 
64-bit kernel, though the rest of the system is i686. (So when 
I configured glibc I used --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu.)

Hmm, in this situation is it necessary to configure the 
"public" kernel headers as i686? Well, I can google.
