Gentoo does not use symlinks for its kernel headers. It uses the package linux-headers. So the only time you would need to recompile glibc would be when you change or update the linux-headers package. |

The symlink should point to the base directory of your kernel sources. |
13 |
When something mentiones that it should point to the headers, that's |
14 |
what they mean. Your kernel headers are contained within your running |
15 |
kernel's source directory. /usr/src/linux should always point to your |
16 |
currently-running source directory so things like nvidia-kernel will |
17 |
work. |

No, you do not need to emerge glibc after changing your kernel. |
