No, because then when you install development libraries (any development 
libraries) they would
get installed into /usr/src/mynewkernel/include ... Things would 
probably break too.  

What a lot of people do is ln -s /usr/src/mynewkernel/include/linux 
/usr/include/linux

I can't remember if that's The Right Thing to do tho.  I'm not sure if 
the kernel headers are supposed
to match up with the newest kernel or the kernel that was used when 
glibc was compiled.  (I think it
is the latter actually).
