Both cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers and sys-kernel/linux-headers are 2.6.11-r3 I've googled around etc. to see if I'm done something dumb - but it's hard to reconcile crossdev => linux-headers < 2.6.9 with reality => linux-headers > 2.6.9, hence a bug report It seems other people (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-452498-highlight-crossdev+glibc.html) have had the issue, have some (dodgy?) workarounds - but I can't find any bug they may have filed.

The kernel header files are found usually in /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux; make sure these directories use files from Linux 2.0.10 or later. This check uses <linux/version.h>, so make sure that file was built correctly when installing the kernel header files. To use kernel headers not from /usr/include/linux, use the configure option --with-headers. I will try to build stuff in various order to maybe get this too work. I think Spanky wrote something about making gcc after linux-headers or vice versa. I will try to find a solution.
all versions of glibc are broken except for 2.4-r2 atm *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126166 ***
