I don't know what the problem is, but it does seem that under /usr/include/linux, your fb.h and list.h are not what they should be.

They came straigt from linux-2.6.9rc1.

I realized that the cvs compiles fine with linux-2.4, but not the fbdev doesn't compile under 2.6.9rc1.

rc1 inserts a pointer to kernel memory into the middle of the fb_monspecs structure. So, either more of linux/fb.h needs to bracketed with #ifndef __KERNEL__, or rc1 breaks userland binary compatibility (among other things). In both cases, this is a kernel issue.
