It's very unusual for an operating system to provide system header
/usr/include/linux/errno.h that doesn't compile because it uses
/usr/include/asm/errno.h that doesn't exist.

Since your operating system is glibc-based, it most likely consists of
packages, and some package that makes /usr/include/linux/errno.h usable
seems to be missing.

Anyway, I wonder how did you manage to build strace without a usable
<linux/errno.h>.  Could it be that your system's <linux/errno.h> is not
/usr/include/linux/errno.h?
