Are you using latest svn?
If yes, can you try to check if the following code compiles on your 
system? (save it in "test.c", and do "gcc -c test.c"

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <asm/types.h>
#include <linux/videodev2.h>
int dummy = V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420;
struct v4l2_buffer dummy1;

If it does not compile, it means that your distribution is shipping 
broken v4l2 headers. We used to have a check for broken headers, but it 
has been removed during one of the configure cleanups.
