This must be an old version.

You can undo those changes. You should not be messing with system
headers to build things.

The setup.py file already knows about this issue and will de-activate
the warning that causes the build to fail when it detects an Ubuntu
distribution that ships with this problematic header file.
But your Linux Mint distribution string is not known about, so this
doesn't happen automatically. Instead, you can run the build with:
python setup.py --without-strict
Which will turn off all the warnings (and not just this one) and allow
the build to proceed.
