Did you apply the patch?
This should be "gcc -m32" there. Without it it will create 64bit code
which won't work.

sh-3.1# cat /usr/include/asm/vm86.h

#ifdef __i386__
# include <asm-i386/vm86.h>
#else
# error This header is not available for x86_64
#endif
sh-3.1# dpkg -S /usr/include/asm/vm86.h
linux-kernel-headers: /usr/include/asm/vm86.h
And you don't seem to be on sid. I don't have that file either on
sarge so it won't work there.
