Regular application code shouldn't use the linux includes anymore. In the
libc5 days, it was quite common to include linux/*. Nowadays, glibc has
portable headers for just about everything, and linux/* is only needed for
really low-level stuff. Try removing #include<linux/whatever.h> in favour of
a #include<netinet/foo.h> which provides the functionality required.
