I think I have found the problem.
The kexec-tools build system is a bit unusual,
and the new file, kexec-pe-zboot.h, was not included in distribution
tarballs. Thus the build failures.

I think you can resolve that by squashing the following into this patch.

diff --git a/include/Makefile b/include/Makefile
--- a/include/Makefile
+++ b/include/Makefile
@@ -1,6 +1,7 @@
 dist += include/Makefile		\
