You don't need to be a programmer to figure this one out:

[stew@powerbook stew]$ urpmf /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h
kernel-headers:/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h
[stew@powerbook stew]$ urpmf /usr/include/linux/errno.h
kernel-headers:/usr/include/linux/errno.h

I don't think there is anything intrinsicly better in Yellowdog in terms
of compiling over Mandrake, but you do need to install the right tools to
be able to compile programs.  We both use the same C compiler, and most
likely similar if not the same versions of the other tools.

gcc was trying to lead you to the issue, you just needed to take the next
step and find what RPM those files are contained in.
