Install libc5-dev, which includes these files.
Also, you want to (per the README which comes with the kernel source):
make sure your /usr/include/asm, /usr/include/linux, and
/usr/include/scsi
directories are just symlinks to the kernel sources:
cd /usr/include
rm -rf asm linux scsi
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi
(although for most this may not be absolutely necessary.)
