Ping? As described in the initial report, there's no reason to prefer system headers over those in the same source… I don't understand Sérgio's objection (I fail to see what's illogical).

The illogical is, without that depending on kernel, you may try compile very new libdrm with a older kernel. libdrm-2.4.21 needs kms on kernel but kernel <= 2.6.26 don't have it.

my 2 cents

I think you're failing to understand the issue.

xf86drm.h is provided by libdrm. libkms (which is part of libdrm) uses xf86drm.h, but the Makefile searches in /usr/include instead of the $(top_src) directory, where libdrm's xf86drm.h is.

This is like if you have a library that consists of lib.c and lib.h, where lib.c includes lib.h. The Makefile would be incorrect in using lib.h found in /usr/include over the lib.h in the same folder as lib.c.
