^^^^^^^^^^^^ This will build world,kernel and install world,kernel.
Also including KERNCONF=<your kernel> in the make command line will
build your custom kernel. Otherwise, the default is GENERIC.

These two aren't needed.

Now, to answer your original question:
IIRC, the userland kernel include files are generated automatically from
the files the kernel uses. So, if you build and install from the same
source those files will allways be in sync. However, I think the
/usr/include files get installed with the userland, so updating the
kernel only will not update /usr/include and *will* cause problems if
the kernel and userland sources are sufficiently out of sync.

What makes you think the problem was caused by the include files not
being in sync?

cheers,
