<linux/ata.h> should translate to /usr/include/linux/ata.h, unless scons
does some black magic with includes location.
/usr/include/linux belongs to linux-libc-dev package, not kernel
headers.
Since co-installing different versions of linux-libc-dev is not possible
in current stable Debian (jessie), you have the following options:
1) Use debootstap to make a chroot of older Debian version (presumably,
squeeze or older, as wheezy's linux-libc-dev does not have linux/ata.h).
2) Try to install an old linux-libc-dev (presumably, from squeeze),
possibly breaking your current installation beyond repair.
