Aha.. good catch.

# cd /usr/include/sys && file types.h
types.h: broken symbolic link to ../x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/types.h

# aptitude reinstall libc6-dev
The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
libc6-dev
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
sa-compile
...

# cd /usr/include/sys && file types.h
types.h: symbolic link to ../x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/types.h
