I got this today with 1.9.4.  It is normal.  Debian and Ubuntu packages
work around this problem by configuring the source in a special way.
Read debian/rules after "apt-get source xastir" to see this:

build:
	CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/geotiff ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man

After I configured in that fashion, the errors went away.

I don't know why the default configure doesn't pick it up.
