Let's work around.

# cd /usr/bin
# mv gcc gcc.orig
# ln -sf kgcc gcc

# cd /usr/include
# rm -rf linux scsi asm
# ln -sf ../src/linux/include/linux linux
# ln -sf ../src/linux/include/scsi scsi
# ln -sf ../src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm

# cd /usr/src
# ln -sf linux-2.2.17 linux

this work's for me
