I also haven't had this problem and have rolled many, many kernels over
the years.  And I don't advise to follow Ken's procedure:

Applications in userland should not link against the headers in the
kernel source.  What is important for them is the kernel headers that
glibc was linked against, which is why that is what's included and also
why it probably doesn't match your running kernel.  I seem to recall
quite a few rants on lkml about this.
