This build error is a result of the 4.1 Linux kernel.  If you can downgrade your kernel to 4.0, you will not have this problem.  VTune Amplifier XE 2016 supports 4.0 and older kernels (see Release Notes).

We expect to release an update with support for 4.1 kernels in the near future (but we cannot publish a date, so please don't ask ;).

[David_A_Intel1]

Just FYI, VTune Amplifier XE 2016 Update 1 is now available and adds support for Linux kernels 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.  More information about the release is available on the What's New page.
