Gettext problems

["Spud" <spud has a godcomplex com>]

Just today I reinstalled Linux and started from scratch. After compiling
kernel 2.2.4 and booting from it, I tried to install gettext 0.10.35. It
configures fine, but upon doing 'make', i get the following errors. I have
never seen these before:

In file included from /usr/include/linux/types.h:4,
                from /usr/include/sys/types.h:4,
                 from system.h:30,
from fstrcmp.c:51:
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:54: asm/posix_types.h: No such file or
directory

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2

    I assume this is something to do with the kernel include files? Can
someone help?
