^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It looks as though you're compiling a module source against
non-kernel-headers. /usr/include/linux headers are for compiling
user/libc6 programs. You need -I/usr/local/src/linux/include
to get the appropriate kernel headers (though my example
assumes that that path points to the appropriate kernel version).
Bear in mind that Debian is one of the few distributions that
handles the /usr/include/{asm,linux} links correctly. You may
be depending on having them point, incorrectly, to the kernel
source. (See /usr/doc/kernel-source-.../README.headers.gz for
details.)
Cheers,
