What version of glibc are you using? I imagine it is 2.3.x. The
problem has to do with the order in which the headers are included and
has been fixed in the current version of glibc.

Anyway, you can try to work around the problem in the xserver with this sed:

sed -i.bak '/CONFIG_H/i #include <linux/types.h>' \
   hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_agp.c

This just makes sure that <linux/types.h> is included before <sys/kd.h>.

HTH.
