It's from the 2.6 kernel, but that shouldn't matter because
/usr/include/asm is private to glibc. (In particular, it doesn't matter
that /usr/include/{asm,linux} is 2.6 while you're running 2.4.)
Userspace applications should never include <linux/*.h> or <asm/*.h>;
they should copy the bits of kernel interface they need instead. It's
not very nice, but it's what you have to do right now.
This is a bug in samhain.
That said, it could be worked around in linux-kernel-headers, so you
could file a lower-severity bug against that.
