Do you mean
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/ubuntu-firedtv/rev/c8e14191e48d
"Disable FIREDTV for debian/ubuntu distributions with bad header files"?

I still don't see what the problem is.  If you have a kernel without
drivers/ieee1394/*, then you also must have a kernel .config without
CONFIG_IEEE1394.  Et voilà, firedtv builds fine (if CONFIG_FIREWIRE is y
or m).  So, please make sure that .config and kernel sources match.

IOW the workaround c8e14191e48d addresses the wrong issue.  Don't disable
CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV; just make sure that the dependency of
CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV_IEEE1394 on CONFIG_IEEE1394 is taken into account, like
in the mainline kernel's build system.

Well, if you move arbitrary drivers/*/*.h files somewhere else where they
were never intended to be exported to, and supplant Kconfig by some
homegrewn ad hoc configuration builder, then you are of course on your own.
Still, my above comment on .config having to match the kernel sources
applies just as well and fully describes the problem and its solution. :-)
