Out of my (not very clear atm) head...
You are probably missing asm/ in /usr/include . This should probably be a
symlink to /usr/src/linux-$VERSION/asm .
I find it strange that you see anything asm-x86_64 on a i686 box. Maybe you
installed the wrong kernel-headers package ?

Of course, I may be totally wrong about this.
