After compiling kernel 2.2.10 and trying to install new software, I got:

Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong? It seems I frequently
lose if.h
if.h and if_arp.h are in the libc6-dev package. Is that package properly
installed?

In the 2.2.x kernels, if.h is in include/linux/, so instead of #include
net/if.h, you should use #include linux/if.h.
Unless you're compiling a kernel or linking explicitly against the kernel
headers (a -I/usr/src/linux/include flag?), this shouldn't make the
difference. Note that in Debian, /usr/include/{linux,asm} shouldn't be
symlinks into a kernel source tree at all; see the README included in a
kernel-headers package (aka /usr/lib/kernel-package/README.headers from
the kernel-package package) for a detailed explanation.
