If you use newer kernel should work ok why is that a problem ? kernel
syscalls are backward compatible
and we use oldest kernel version of like 2.6.16 for eglibc to build
against so it should not be a problem
to use different versions for kernel and kernel-headers. I think your
problem lies elsewhere
