I advice is to use the 2.1.x headers for compiling glibc. This is the
only way you can make sure the programs are compiled optimally
regardless what kernel is used (most people will not stay with 2.0.x
after installing Debian).
With 2.1.x headers there should be no problem. This is what I and
most of the other people here do all the time. But I think stepping
up to the 2.0.35 headers should also provide no problem in 2.0.34
works.
