        This is an evil kludge, but it worked for me. After symlinking
/usr/include/linux with /usr/src/linux/include (which you should do
anyway), mv /usr/include to /usr/include.tmp. Then mkdir /usr/include,
copy all the files from /usr/include.tmp into it, then copy all the
files from the gcc include directory /usr/lib/gcc ...  into it. Now
/usr/include has all the includes you need. Now try to compile. It will
complain about no such file or directory in an include file (I forgot
which one, sorry). Edit the include file (in /usr/include) it complained
about, and remove the #include in the include file (it is near the top
of the file. The #include is a weird one which includes a file with, if
I remember correctly, a very similar name to itself). Now compile again.
It should work (it did for me). Now rm -rf /usr/include and mv
/usr/include.tmp back to /usr/include, to make things normal again with
your include directories.

Hope this helps.

It isn't as hard as it sounds.
