Seeing as how this is a staging directory and not the actual place the package is being installed to, I'm having the afore mentioned problem because the alsa-utils package is looking under /... for the header files instead of the /opt/staging/alsa/... directory. Is there a compile-time parameter that I can use so that alsa-utils looks in the staging directory for the header files - just during the compile phase?
Hi Dave, try giving --with-alsa-inc-prefix=/opt/staging/alsa to the configure script.
Thanks for the help Adrian. I tried passing that parameter to the configure script and here's the below output:

I've double checked that the header files are present: $ ls -1 /opt/staging/alsa/var/share/include/alsa/
Pass the root path to alsa/*.h to --with-alsa-inc-prefix option, i.e. in your case, it's /opt/staging/alsa/var/share/include.
But, the path is really odd and almost kidding (/share under /var...?) Is it really correct?

Thanks for the additional help Takashi! I've tried that as well without any luck - still errors out at the same place and with the same message.
Then you should check config.log at the place error occurred. It contains more details. I guess you'll have to pass also --with-alsa-prefix pointing to the path where your local libasound.so.2 is placed.
I know that some of the paths are non-traditional, but there were certain guidelines that had to be met with this custom distro. As a result, some of the directories had to get moved. That shouldn't be adding to the problem right? Since we're telling configure exactly where to locate the files...
Well, it's still very strange path. The share sub-directory definitely doesn't belong under /var. I'd understand that /opt/staging/alsa is a prefix for some build-root. But /var/share is weird. If any, it should be /usr/share.

I checked in the log file, but I didn't notice anything that gave an indication as to the failure. Is there any spot in particular to look as the log just ends with "configure: exit 1", but everything above it just appears to be bash-styled variable assignments.
I ended up using the following configure parameters, but with the same results: --with-alsa-inc-prefix=/opt/staging/alsa/var/share/include/alsa --with-alsa-prefix=/opt/staging/alsa/lib and I've confirmed that the appropriate files reside in the passed directories.
Obviously the traditional directory layout is /usr/share, but the distro doesn't have a /usr directory. As a result, the directories that were under that parent directory had to be moved. The chosen spot for some of them was /var (although the header files could have been moved to /lib/... perhaps). At any rate, that's where the files are located.
