rpmbuild.h needs to be added, yes.

Its likeley that a specific, and fairly recent, version of perl is  
needed.
This the minuimum version of perl needed listed in INSTALL:

Perl            mandatory 5.8.0   5.8.8   http://www.perl.com/

It sounds like disabling the includes in rpmconstant.h to fix
rpmconstant.c linkage may have caused other issues.

Adding
     #include <rpmds.h>
     #include <rpmts.h>
should supply the additional symbols.

Hmmm, dunno perl bindings well enough to hazard a guess. But
I'd be surprised if perl-5.6.1 did not have some mens to bind a
"const char *" string.
