Install the full C development package. On Debian, this is called
libc6-dev. On Red Hat, it's called glibc-devel.

Satisfy the dependencies, then. :-)

Actually, no, those header files are not part of the kernel. They're
part of the C library (GNU libc 2, or glibc2, or libc6). Most of the
Linux distributions divide the C library into 2 or more parts -- the
basic shared libraries for runtime, and the headers and static libs
for development.
Sufficiently old Linux distributions didn't use GNU libc (which only
became truly stable a few years ago) -- the older library, called libc5,
was a completely different code base. *Ancient* versions of Linux used
libc4.... So anyway, if your Caldera system uses libc5 instead of glibc,
then make sure you install the libc5 headers, not the glibc headers.
You might *also* need the kernel headers, as Lutz suggests; if you get
missing files like "linux/limits.h", then you'll need the kernel headers.
Otherwise, you probably don't.
