Looks to me like /usr/include/netinet/ip_tcp.h is including itself.
Are you including any network drivers in the kernel, or are they all
modules in your configuration?  Anyway, look for (a) something weird
in ip_tcp.h (line 1), or (b) an incorrect symlink in
/usr/include/netinet.  The latter is more likely in my opinion.  For
some reason, it's harder to overwrite symlinks than regular files
(that could just be me).  Oh, ad maybe one of your toplevel symlinks
for the linux source is wrong (that seems least likely).

This looks more mysterious, but could be a consequence of the failed
include.
