I had something like this going on a while ago. It turned out that I had
moved /usr/include/linux/stddef.h to /usr/include which royally screwed
things up. Try looking around in /usr/include to find a header file
that shouldn't be there. If you can't find anything, I found that
getting rid of all instances of -I/usr/include in Makefiles (usually
with sed) did the trick.
Good luck,
Chris
