You supplied a CFLAGS=-I/opt/chef-workstation/embedded/include which has an archive.h file that's unrelated to the archive.h file git expects. Thus we include that and find things unrelated to git, and error when we encounter a function we expected to have declared in our own archive.h. The solution is something like defining a config.mak file where you add flags with BASIC_CFLAGS +=, not =. See config.mak.uname for an example. You'll then add new directories after our own -I. This is arguably a bug in git's Makefile in that we should have that "-I." in an ESSENTIAL_CFLAGS variable or something, I can't think of a scenario where git would compile without it. That or things in builtin/ should include e.g. ../archive.h, perhaps such a thing isn't portable. I think (but have not confirmed) that you probably got this far because your compiler will stick -I. at the /end/ of the flags implicitly (or is that standardized C behavior? I can't remember). So it worked until we had a filename conflict, i.e. we'd find strbuf.h in our own sources, but have an issue with a common name like archive.h.
