do you have the headers installed for your kernel? I don't use the
debian stock kernels myself. So I can't give a whole lot of guidance
on using the kernel-headers-* package. Compiling 3rd party modules
is almost always much more difficult if you don't have your own
kernel compiled and the source in /usr/src/linux (the kernel-headers
package I think is supposed to make it so you don't need it but
like I said I've never used it so I can't say for certain)
Looking at the log makes me think the files you downloaded were
curropted. What did you use to download them? I used wget. Try downloading
it again, using regular ftp if needed. if you downloaded it on a win32
box I would pass it through dos2unix to strip out the CRs from the file
(just makes it cleaner), if that still doesn't work, try this file:
http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/rt8139.tar.gz
its the files you need, tarred and gzipped so it should be immune from
corruption that may be otherwise hidden. If it is curropted it won't
uncompress, which makes it easy to see a problem.
I ran this command to compile and it went clean:
aphro@shadow:/tmp$ gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -I/usr/src/linux/include
-include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -c rtl8139.c
aphro@shadow:/tmp$ ls -l rt8139.tar.gz
aphro@shadow:/tmp$ ls -l rtl8139.*

got the command to use here:

I compiled against a home brew 2.4.20 kernel on my thinkpad T20.
good luck!
