Seems to be true for the CentOS package for instance, but not for Wheezy:
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libfdt-dev/filelist

Also "make install" on the source distribution copies the file to 
/usr/include. Even if I delete it, fdt.h still references fdt32_t, so I 
get the same error again.
