Trying to build the suspend package utility s2ram on Feisty 32-bit I
also ran into this problem. Based on what other people had said I
believed initially it was a bug in the pciutils package, and libpci in
particular.
After considerable hacking about between the configure scripts and
Makefiles of pciutils/libpci and suspend-0.5 I realised that the
compiler/linker errors detailed above were a bug in the Makefile of
suspend-0.5.
pciutils/libpci is installed to /usr/lib/libpci.a and is a static
library. It in turn relies on the zlib static library /usr/lib/libz.a.
In its configure script it correctly passes the linker parameter "-lz"
which causes ld (the GNU linker) to link libpci against libz.
suspend-0.5's Makefile omits to pass the same "-lz" to the linker,
although it does pass "-lpci" correctly. Adding "-lz" as an additional
linker parameter, and using LD_FLAGS in the s2ram target rule, solves
the problem:
LD_FLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
LD_FLAGS += -lz
s2ram: s2ram.c dmidecode.c whitelist.c radeontool.c $(S2RAMOBJ)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -g s2ram.c $(S2RAMOBJ) $(LD_FLAGS) -lpci -o s2ram
I'm guessing that compilation issues with other source packages are
caused by this same error in their configure scripts and/or Makefile.

pciutils-dev possibly somewhat broken in feisty?
