glibc headers versus linux kernel headers


Compiling my own glibc 2.10.1 for a linux from scratch project, I ran
into a scenario I'd like to know more about 'the right thing to do'.
In a nutshell, the issue is that glibc wants to (during make install)
overwrite kernel headers previously installed from kernel 2.6.31.

for example: /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h - the linux kernel's make
headers_install provides one, so does glibc's make install ....

I'm not even sure of what my 'thought / question process' should be so
as to arrive at a decision about which to keep ... any suggestions and
or teaching about 'how things are put together' that will help me
understand the answer?

Thanks in advance,
Alexander
