This seems to be a problem if incompatible system and kernel sg.files
kernel-2.4.0 (/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h):
#ifndef _SCSI_GENERIC_H
suse-7.0 /usr/include/scsi/sg.h:
#ifndef _SCSI_SG_H
In previous kernel versions _SCSI_SG_H has been used to make sure
sg.h is included only once.
May be you should rename /usr/include/scsi to make sure the
kernel includes are used!

Before the compilation test which fails due to missing sane_major_version
there is another sane compilation test must have failed. The second compile test
is only to find out why the first test failed (and only the second compile test
has this bug). Take a look at config.log to find out why the first test failed.
