Alternatively, dahdi-tools merely need <dahdi/user.h> from dahdi-linux. 
This is already present in the installation. So all you need to do is:

  ./configure --with-dahdi=path/to/dahdi-linux

See, for instance, the script build_tools/live_dahdi in dahdi-linux .

Note that while this is likely to work in the future, it is not
guaranteed 100% to workand remains somewhat of a workaround. Installing
dahdi-linux to your target tree should be better.
