Thank you

[pqarmitage]

Can you please post a copy of the config.log file and also /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h.

Can you also try compiling the following:

#include <linux/ethtool.h>

and post what errors you get.

I don't know what the keepalived-mysql service is; it is not part of the keepalived project. You will need to log this issue with whoever maintains keepalived-mysql.
