Obviously you have one set of headers under /usr/include, and another
one under /usr/local/include, and they conflict with each other.
I'd say that machine is in a sick state.  Where do those headers under
/usr/local/include[/sys] come from?  Are they there by accident?
Or was gcc somehow not completely installed? (or re-installed when the
OS was upgraded?)

Mayvbe we could work around the apparent problem with some changes in
the lynx code, but I don't think that would solve your real problem.
