The problem is related to ppp. It search ppp_deps.h inside include/net when it is in include/linux. Opened a PR upstream to fix it: https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/pull/293

There were several of this 'family' of bugs eg 713392 and 713466 which I'd thought had been solved wrt ppp. Does this 'style' of fix apply elsewhere too?

I've actually got a job pending to push the Gentoo patchset upstream also (there's a PR for 2.4.9 release with comments I won't link here) but that's separate.

This fix is for all these packages that require it. I'm sure that ppp_defs.h was on net/ until some point (i haven't checked it) and that's because it was set like that. I have also the idea that glibc has it internally and that's why glibc users does not have such problem
