I think I've seen these errors mostly when a type definition is broken.

Absolutely not. This was the norm for 1.2.x series kernels, and may have been normal for 2.0.x kernels, but I think 2.2 (and most definately 2.4) do not put includes in /usr/include/ -- /usr/include/ is used for user- land programs, and is not to be used when compiling kernels. glibc provides its own kernel headers in /usr/include/linux -- and applications must be able to communicate with glibc, which does the major work for communicating with the kernel. Take a look at the example modules on kernelnewbies.org, as well as the FAQ; these are explained pretty well there. If you have access to a debian machine, install the kernel-package package, and read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/*eadme*eader -- it is a great description of the new setup.
