I'm puzzled by this one, since I haven't had any trouble with this
combination (linux 2.2.11 with arla 0.26):

make[2]: Entering directory `/root/Misc/arla-0.26/xfs/linux'
gcc -c  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__  -DDEBUG -I. -I. -O6 -I/u
sr/src/linux/include -Wall -I. -I./../include -I../../include -I./../..
/include -I/usr/contrib/packages/kthkrb/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototyp
es -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer xfs_load.c

Note the explicit '-I/usr/src/linux/include' which I pass to configure
via

     env CFLAGS='-O6 -I/usr/src/linux/include' ./configure ...

(This is on a Debian slink system.)
