So ... which do we use? /usr/src/linux? usr/include/linux?
/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r3/build/include?

/usr/src/linux is a symlink to the cuurent kernel.

To answer my own question, and to restate what Georgi wrote (sorry for
stripping your name from the quote):
/usr/src/linux contains (or should contain) the default (or latest) kernel
so /usr/src/linux/include contains that kernels headers.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r3/include would then contain the headers for
that specific version of the kernel.
/lib/modues/2.6.9-gentoo-r3/build/include contains the kernel headers used
for compiling that version of the modules.
/usr/include/linux contains the C-library headers (ie. for printf and atoi
and so on).

/usr/src/linux *should* be a symlink to the current *running* kernel.
things are not always how they should be, however...
