It looks like the above (gnu/stubs-32.h) is the key missing file with
the required headers preventing compilation.

At least on F9:

$ locate stubs-32.h
/usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h
glibc-devel-2.8-8.i386


So:

  # yum install glibc-devel

should take care of it, presuming that you are not missing anything else...

HTH,
