For now this is just a warning, it should still compile.  In the long
run someone needs to fix the packages configure script.  The last line
you posted "checking for linux/ax25.h... yes" shows that it is still
acting like it was happy with this file (for now).

The configure script builds a small c program that includes the
file to be tested and sees if there are errors when it is compiled.
Apparently this test program isn't good enough for that file (on your
system).

Look in "config.log".  That will show the test program, the command used
and the results.  

For example I see the same error with "if.h" and see this in config.log:

Yet soundmodem compiles just fine (although there are far too many
warnings).
