That's what you get on i386 with glibc as well, simply linux/types.h is
incompatible with glibc headers, it has been like that for quite some time.
Generally, you should use glibc headers and if you ever need something from
linux/ headers which include linux/types.h or similar headers, just handle
it somehow. If you look into most low level packages which do this, you'll
see they either use their own copy of kernel headers, thus are independent
on the actual kernel version installed during build (which is a good thing),
or #define some define which will prevent those headers to be included.
