For kivy version 1.10.0, cython must be 0.26

It is likely that you cython version is incorrect. For the current version of kivy (1.10.0), I've had success with cython==0.26. Install failed with 0.27.1 and 0.27.3 with the same error as yours.

So in your relevant anaconda environment, uninstall the current cython:

pip uninstall cython==0.2x.x (give the correct version of your installed cython)

or

conda uninstall cython

Install cython==0.26:

pip install cython==0.26

(there doesn't seem to be a 0.26 version of cython in the linux64 anaconda channel)

Then: pip install kivy

I am using Kivy on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and used the following installation steps. Kivy examples is optional:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python3-kivy
$ sudo apt-get install python-kivy-examples
$ sudo pip install --upgrade cython==0.26

What's your cython version? you might want to update it to 0.24 or 0.25 to build kivy.

pip install -U cython==0.25

pip install Cython #pip or pip3
pip install Kivy

EDIT: Of course install gcc

IMHO much easier is to use apt-get or pip.
