Oh, I think I might know what's going on. No, don't downgrade glibc.
Current glibc is compiled against the kernel headers from Linux 2.4, not
Linux 2.2, and 2.4 no longer has a 'struct device' (it seems to be
called 'struct net_device' now). Since you're compiling something that
needs to know about details of a particular kernel version, you need to
compile it against the headers from that kernel, not glibc. Say you have
2.2.whatever kernel source unpacked in /path/to/some/directory (and have
configured it and run 'make dep' there); then make sure you compile with
the '-I/path/to/some/directory/include' compiler option.

Red Hat uses the GNU C Library too.
