if you are running rh7.1 (other linux's may have done this as well). 
your /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux are real directories with
2.4.2 headers.  I came across this exact problem while working with the
vtun package.  The problem is the ioctl's for the tun/tap interface
changed from a shift to an _IOW which comes up with very different
values.

/usr/include/asm should be a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux/include/asm
or /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386
/usr/include/linux should be a symbolic link to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux

Hope this helps,

Eric
