Get a copy of old libc5 headers and add -I/path/to/old/libc/headers
to the CFLAGS into the Makefile in pppd/ and pppstats/. And keep the
copy of these headers handy. They may be necessary in the future ;-)

ObGlibcNote: The Bad Thing(tm) is that glibc "knows nothing" about
__u32, __u16 etc. if you use -D_LINUX_SOURCE. Is there
any serious reason explaining this behaviur ? This is
IMHO necessry at least for backwards compactibility.
