you are sure that you _did_ read INSTALL ??

this is a (educated) guess only.
include/linux/fs.h is a standard kernel header.
it is very unlikely that such a file is corrupt...
you won't have a working kernel :)

maybe for some reason RH thinks it is cool to have the standard compiler
different from the one you need to use for kernel compiles.  use the
right compiler.
