Your report lacks some vital data, at least OS w/ version and samba 
version should always be included.


I'm assuming you run some type of linux, because that's the only place
where I have seen this problem. I think you have incomplete C headers and
that you are missing the kernel parts from /usr/include/{linux,asm}.

How to fix that depends on your distribution. Some have separate
kernel-headers packages that need a symlink from /usr/include, more recent
ones normally include the headers with the c library packages.

If this is incorrect, check your config.log, it should hint what it fails 
on.
