Nowadays, unlike in Feb. 2013, linux-libre-headers is a =E2=80=9Cpropagated
input=E2=80=9D of glibc: when glibc is installed in a profile,
linux-libre-headers is automatically installed as well.  So there
shouldn=E2=80=99t be any problems.

However, instead of installing the =E2=80=98glibc=E2=80=99 package, you may=
 want to
install the =E2=80=98gcc-toolchain=E2=80=99 package, which provides all the=
 tools needed
to do software development (GCC, libc, Binutils, the =E2=80=98ld wrapper=E2=
=80=99, etc.)

Can you report back?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
