Update....

I made a mistake when I wrote that I "strace'd" the building process.
strace does not trace into spawned processes. What I saw was the regular compiler output.

Anyway, the result is the same.

While include/uapi/linux/types.h is being accessed, include/linux/types.h is not being accessed.
I verified the latter one by placing erroneous code at the very beginning of include/linux/types.h, 
which should cause an according compilation error. It does not, so include/linux/types.h is not
evaluated at all.

I made more tests to compare the situation with the official Ubuntu 13.10. The same bcmwl version
is used here (6.30.223.141+bdcom). The kernel is 3.11.0-12.
The bcmwl compiles fine and is working fine as well.

The situation here is that the compilation process accesses both include/uapi/linux/types.h
and include/linux/types.h - verified with the same trick as above.

So we can conclude that one issue is that the according header file include/linux/types.h is not 
read in - for whatever reason.

Though, it remains unclear whether this is the only problem, because there are following a lot
of other compilation errors following the missing uint definition. But maybe they are related somehow.

Ok, still no solution, but maybe somebody has got some idea.....
