This compilation error is coming from the distro you are using which 
does not provide the PR_CAPBSET_DROP. It has been fixed and will be in 
the lxc-0.6.1 which will come as soon as a setcap problem is resolved.

Until I release this new version, you can hack lxc/src/lxc/start.c and add:

#define PR_CAPBSET_DROP 24

That should fix you problem.
