Your compiler's kernel headers do not contain MTD-related headers.

Disable ubiattach, ubidetach, ubimkvol, ubirmvol, ubirsvol, ubiupdatevol
applets on .config and try "make" again.

If you must have those applets, then install a newer kernel headers
(the procedure to do this is toolchain-specific).

dhcpc.c has "#include <linux/if_packet.h>" statement. Apparently your
if_packet.h is old too. Mine has these two declarations:

struct tpacket_auxdata {
        __u32           tp_status;
        __u32           tp_len;
        __u32           tp_snaplen;
        __u16           tp_mac;
        __u16           tp_net;
        __u16           tp_vlan_tci;
        __u16           tp_padding;
};

#define PACKET_AUXDATA                  8

your does not.

You need to update your /usr/include/linux/* files with newer kernel
headers. If you can't do a "normal" update, try manually downloading
a more recent gcc RPM and replacing only that directory.
