I haven't a clue. Usually I see such messages when there is 
a horrible mismatch (age, version numbers) in the compiler, 
glibc, headers, application that you're trying to build. I 
assume you have a consistent set of these utilities having a 
distro setup your machine for you, so I really don't know.

Does /usr/include/linux/include/ point to anywhere sensible?
Can you build gcc, glibc, from scratch?
