The problem is that there is a new header file included in drivers/char/vt.c
which one of the speakup patches doesn't recognise. You can just apply the patch
by hand by opening vt.c in your favorite editor and inserting the following
lines under the line which reads

#include <linux/font.h>

The lines to insert are:

#include <linux/speakup.h>
#ifdef CONFIG_SPEAKUP_MODULE
#include "speakup/spk_con_module.h"
#endif

Hope this gets it working for you it compiled fine here, but I haven't done much with the new kernel yet.
