No.
The problem is that the headers are what libc builds against. It
doesn’t need the latest version (in fact, we build it with
--enable-kernel=2.6.30.)

I suspect the problem is that linux-libre-headers is build with the
default config, which may lack some features, and so as a side effect
some headers are not installed.
That would need investigation, but if this is correct, let’s fix that in
core-updates.
Would you like to look into it? Or maybe Alírio? :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
