You also need autoconf-2.61 which is *not* avaible in the Maemo SDK. You have to build it and Go to the VLC source code directory, e.g.:
install it yourself. cd /scratchbox/users/$(whoami)/home/$(whoami)/vlc

./bootstrap
Installing correct headers
==========================
For VLC to compile under the Maemo SDK, you must copy the linux/videodev2.h
from your Linux distribution into the Scratchbox.
To build the OMAP Frame Buffer video output module, you also need an up-to-date
asm/arch-omap/omapfb.h (you can find it on google by searching for "omapfb.h").
