This is not a big surprise. The "bseip.h" header file is for a MPC8xx based board - what makes you think that this might work on your 8260 based hardware?

I even tried with linux-2.4.20 and encountered the same problems. Is there any patch required for compiling the kernel cleanly.

Please provide pointer to the sutiable kernel along with patch.
See for example the linuxppc_2_4_devel module on our CVS server.
