Yes, but the deal is: that should not matter! In Slackware you should
install kernel-headers-2.4.31 no matter what (independent of!) the kernel
you happen to be running at any time, whether 2.2.22, 2.4.31, 2.4.32,
2.6.7 or 2.6.12. At least as long as you don't recompile glibc.

No, those are not the /usr/include/linux headers, the ones you are talking
about are those in include/linux in the kernel source code.

they won't, as they know that include/linux headers are broken beyond
repair for user space inclusion.
