To build from git sources you need to generate the confiture script using the
autools:

$ make
$ make install
You may disable building some parts like documentation, btrfs-convert or
backtrace support. See ./configure --help for more.

$ CFLAGS=... LDFLAGS=... ./configure --prefix=/usr
and not as arguments to make.
