Both those files are in the libc6-dev package, which you should install
if you want to compile pretty much anything.
However, given that it's a driver, it may need to be built against the
appropriate set of kernel headers rather than the versions in libc6-dev.
Say the kernel image you're using is kernel-image-2.4.18-686; then
install the kernel-headers-2.4.18-686 package and add
'-I/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-686/include' to the gcc calls that are
being made to compile this driver.
