We have something related in the INSTALL file, section "Problems":
o Configure will seemingly fail to find xpm.h and forms.h on linux if
you did a 'make mrproper' in the kernel directory, because this
removes some symbolic links that are needed for compilation. A 'make
symlinks' in linux kernel sources fixes that.
However, having a header file which relies on kernel headers is a BUG
in itself (according to Linus himself). You should probably find out
which headers do that, and see whether an upgrade would be a proper
cure.
