Hi all,
a friend of mine got this error compiling 2.6.16.1 and we don't know
what's wrong:

Your friend has gcc installed, but not the kernel headers that should 
be provided by his distribution for usage with his libc (although they 
are similar, these are _not_ the headers of the kernel he is trying 
to compile).
