How are you determining this? In general, the "kernel headers"
installed by the distro should be used to compile all userspace
software, *regardeless* of what kernel is running -- those headers
represent the data structures used to compile glibc, not the internal
data structures used in the kernel itself. So it's not unusual to run
a kernel built from sources whose header files don't match those in
/usr/src/linux/include.

man uname
