Hello Wiktor,

Yes, this is due to the libhd. I probably didn't hightlight it in the 
description.

As you suggested I already had look at Arch (previous user).

I built it successfully on Arch using the PKGBUILD.
They pass the include flag with the dir -I . Without it points to 
$(TOPDIR)/src/libhd hence the substitution of as otherwise it expands into 
-I../../src/hd

I applied this flag but the build is still failing. Besides I also opened an 
issue on [1] though nobody probably even noticed :-(
