No, they don't need to match afaik. The headers are meant to be ABI 
backwards compatible (hence all the reserved fields).

I was just wondering if the headers were provided by your distro or not 
(Given they are compile time deps and not runtime), and looking now at 
the package lists in some, i see they are, so disregard my question.
