Looks a lot like the kernel headers, are you trying to build out of
tree kernel modules?

If you install the linux-headers-2.6-<arch> meta package (eg
linux-headers-2.6-amd64 or linux-headers-2.6-686 would be the most
common ones. see here [1] for all) you will automatically get the
correct newest kernel headers.
