I found the issue:
in dfb.c a var of type DFBGraphicsDeviceDescription is defined. Latest DirectFB versions no longer no longer have this type. But since this var, once defined, is never used, just commenting it out solves the problem.

Added some magic sed to fix the issue. Also created metadata.xml and listed myself as package maintainer.
