To me, it's a gamin issue. Here's why:

1) I have gamin-0.1.7 installed in an unusual prefix:
/home/claudio/usr .

2) gamin-0.1.7 installs fam.h in ${prefix}/include.
In this case, my header is
/home/claudio/usr/include/fam.h

3) I managed to get a successful build and
installation by running configure with

CPPFLAGS=-I/home/claudio/usr/include

4) I noticed that the gnubiff build sets FAM_CFLAGS
based on pkg-config --cflags gamin, so I checked and

$ pkg-config --cflags gamin
-I/home/claudio/usr/include/fam

In gamin package, the gamin.pc.in reads:

prefix= prefix@
exec_prefix= exec_prefix@
libdir= libdir@
includedir= includedir@

Name: gamin
Description: The gamin file monitoring system.
Version: @GAMIN_VERSION@
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgamin-1
Cflags: -I${includedir}/fam

and libgamin/Makefile.am has:
gaminincludedir = $(includedir)/
gamininclude_HEADERS =  \
        fam.h

And this is the problem I think. Either the gamin
project removes that /fam from the gamin.pc.in, or
they change libgamin/Makefile.am to specify nobase_
for their includes.
