Yes ;)  Samples use a local installation of headers in $objtree/usr (I
think, maybe $srctree/usr).  So you need to do make headers_install in
your kernel source tree, otherwise the include path from tools/ takes
priority over your global /usr/include and causes these issues.  I had
this path in my tree for some time, but I don't like enough to post it:
