Be careful. This no longer is a link, but those are the header files of
the kernel the glibc was compiled with:

ds9:/usr/include # dlocate /usr/include/linux
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/802_11.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/isdn
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/isdn/tpam.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/ac97_codec.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/a.out.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/adb_mouse.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/acct.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/linux/acpi.h
[...]

So, there is no way to be sure, where to files of the current running
kernel are. You can guess, or if that fails, you have to ask the user
(or let him specify the location via --kernel-source=/home/user/kernel)
