Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, it
used /usr/include/* , not KLIB_BUILD/include/*

I now see what happened. I had 2.6.27 headers installed because the
default kernel was 2.6.27.
Should I have done the following: # cd KLIB_BUILD && make
headers_check && make headers_install && cp -Rv include/* /usr/include
?
