The headers that are straight into the development directory will work 
until you get to a noarch rpm. (I found out from my own mistakes using 
this headers directory)

I really don't understand the need to use the $basearch in the url. I 
usually just use i386 instead and it works fine. I don't see this 
machine changing to any other type archetecture, so why not use the 
simple 4 characters instead?

I checked the mirror you mentioned above and the headers directory was 
also located within the

ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/fedora/development/i386
directory.
Using this link should work fine.

I am assuming you have an i686 machine.
