I missed that bug report :)  If you can send me the details of the
failures we can probably add configure tests for any new ioctls
that are causing build failures.

Hm, well, on my Fedora system, /usr/include/xfs/xfs_fs.h, from xfsprogs-devel.

I don't think that has changed in a very long time...

I also package an xfsprogs-qa-devel which has some additional pieces in
it to support xfstests.  Debian could do the same ... "make install-qa"
in xfsprogs puts those bits into the root.
