The kernel headers as necessary for building kernel modules, for
instance, can be found in the kernel-source binary rpm for your
kernel version. On the other hand, the headers in the kernel-headers
package (the glibc-kernheaders package for newer versions of Red Hat
Linux) are for compiling glibc and other apps/libs which depend on
the kernel API.
