Well, no, if you are thinking about using 2.0.23 you should not have the
2.0.18 includes from the kernel-headers rpm installed. If you are going
to use the kernels from redhat and compile other programs (without
compiling your own kernel), then the kernel-headers rpm is needed.
The problem with the includes in the 2.0.23 kernel is that they are
a little mismatched with the glibc includes. This should be fixed by
the axp-diff's at azstarnet. If you apply these to your 2.0.23 kernel
source you will get a timespec.h again.
There is, however, no axp-diff for 2.0.23 at azstarnet, but you can
apply the one for 2.0.21. Mikael Nykvist recently tried to make a
2.0.23 kernel for his machine this way and this kernel failed (just
froze) after a while, so I don't know if I can recommend 2.0.23.
It might be working differently depending on the config though.

It was perhaps instructive, but not correct for your setup. On the other
hand, you didn't say that you had any kernel sources/includes installed
bit you said you were missing kernel include files ...
