if.h and if_arp.h are in the libc6-dev package. Is that package properly
installed?

Unless you're compiling a kernel or linking explicitly against the kernel
headers (a -I/usr/src/linux/include flag?), this shouldn't make the
difference. Note that in Debian, /usr/include/{linux,asm} shouldn't be
symlinks into a kernel source tree at all; see the README included in a
kernel-headers package (aka /usr/lib/kernel-package/README.headers from
the kernel-package package) for a detailed explanation.
