I had the same problem with Debian Wheezy. My workaround was:
   cd /usr/include
   ln -s linux/a.out.h .

(provided that /usr/include/linux/a.out.h is present)

Apparently new Debian release changed the location of a.out.h, which 
should be determined by configure.

As Ubuntu builds on Debian there is a chance that it is the same problem.

cheers,
