Not using the headers that *exactly match* the kernel binary is broken.
Rebuilding a lot of stuff from /usr/src/<anything> is not going to
guarantee that it's an EXACT match.

It's broken infrastructure and is using implementation details instead
of properly provided infrastructure. Those implementation details are
subject to change. I mean that. Let me repeat it one more time:
If you don't use the headers that come with the kernel binary, things
will break, now or in the future.
What headers? RedHat and Fedora don't ship any kernel headers in kernels
2.4.x. And the only files under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ are object files,
the modules.
The fact that you could get away with it in the past does not mean
that
it will remain working in the future.
Maybe there was no other way in the past?
