Upgrade to potato. It works very well.
Slink is just too old.

This is because with Debian, the header files in 
/usr/include/{linux,asm} are the header files glibc was compiled with.

You need to add -I/usr/src/linux/include to the gcc commandline so it
will use the right header files. Make sure the kernel-headers-2.0.38
package is installed.
