In that case please remove bits/ioctls.h.

Well in 2.2.5-14.3, bits/ioctls.h does not include linux/sockios.h.

$ grep ^.include /usr/include/bits/ioctls.h
#include <asm/ioctls.h>

Well your libc6-dev appears to differ from mine:

$ gcc -o test test.c
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:4: `SIOCSIFNAME' undeclared (first use in this function)
test.c:4: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:4: for each function it appears in.)
