Only the superuser may use chroot.

That header is part of the Linux kernel and comes with the kernel sources. 
It's kind of debatable if the linux_devtools port should really go ahead and 
install those - they are really big and freebsd's linux emulator is not 
exactly a good testing enviroment for Linux kernel modules. :)

Of course there's a lot of software around that bogusly uses Linux kernel 
includes (and makes porters curse and rant) although it shouldn't. 

FWIW, you can still grab a Linux kernel source and install the missing headers 
from that yourself.
