Sorry about the confusing error messages. As you say there is
something missing, but that is on purpose. We wanted to break down the
release in smaller pieces, but our build system still thinks that it
all comes together in one piece. We are working on fixing this!

I don't think so, but further down in the output it seems something
actually did go wrong:

Wow, long output... :-)

Which seems to be the real cause of the error. The fix is to edit the
file erts/system/emulator/sys.unix/driver_int.h and add 

#include <sys/types.h>

just before the inclusion of sys/uio.h. Thanks for trying it out!
