So on my Debain system, I don't update linux-libc-dev when I install a

version of the linux-image-*.deb file, and maybe a newer version of
linux-firmware-*.dev, but I don't bother installing the
linux-headers-*.deb file (since I don't compile external kernel
modules), and I don't bother installing linux-libc-dev-*.deb (because
of situations like this, where the userspace include files need ot be
updated in sync, and this should be the distribution's problem to
handle).
I am using a debian system and built the kernel using
"make bindeb-pkg". This generated the following debs:
linux-firmware-image-4.5.0-rc1+_4.5.0-rc1+-2_powerpc.deb
linux-image-4.5.0-rc1+_4.5.0-rc1+-2_powerpc.deb
linux-headers-4.5.0-rc1+_4.5.0-rc1+-2_powerpc.deb
linux-libc-dev_4.5.0-rc1+-2_powerpc.deb
which I installed as I usually do to test new system calls or run other tests.
I'll try to update the uapi header files manually and see how it goes...
Thanks!
