I'm sure that this will be fixed eventually, but I think Linus needs a lot of persuasion that the headers matter, so 2.6.18 might have problems.
But thanks for the encouraging news that a desktop can be built with those headers! Using the in-kernel headers is on my list of things to try once we've got CLFS-1.0 out.
