I usually setup a minimalistic chroot[1,2] and keep trying to build my
packages - adding one build-dependency after the other - until the
compile runs through.

1. wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/\
potato/main/disks-i386/current/base2_2.tgz
tar xzf base2_2.tgz
cp /etc/apt/sources.list etc/apt/
cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/
cp /etc/hosts etc/
chroot .
dpkg --get-selections |
awk '{print $1}' |
grep -v "^apt$" |
xargs dpkg --purge # purge everything but essential and apt
mount -t proc none /proc
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install build-essential
2. there's also dbootstrap or so to setup chroots but I've never tried it.
