i'm not have debian, but PLD linux, but...
hm... two things...
first - on sparc there are two "asm" versions - sparc(32) and sparc64
So should be links:
asm-sparc -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm-sparc
asm-sparc64 -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm-sparc64
and you should select which version are you using when compile.

and second... from kernel 2.6 kernel headers shouldn't be used directly
by userland applications. each distribution sholud have special
"userland" headers to use in applications. in pld are used
linux-libc-headers (from
http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/). I think in
debian is similar project.
