Thank you, Alan!
Investigating a bit further, I realised that $host_os is not the problem.
The real cause of kdrive input drivers not being automatically built in
linux is a code misplacing in configure.ac: the auto-detection test for
KDRIVE_{EVDEV,KBD,MOUSE} is placed AFTER the corresponding AC_DEFINEs, when
it should be placed BEFORE them.
I'll submit a patch right now!!
