I've had a few tries at building that, without success so far.
Eventually I found this version, which seems to work:

http://www.mail-archive.com/maemo-developers@maemo.org/msg09331.html

To get the source, add a deb-src line to /etc/apt/sources.list.  For
example the maemo repositories:

deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ chinook free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras chinook free

...or Debian etch:

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

Then "apt-source get libcomerr2".  This will fetch e2fsprogs, which
builds a whole bunch of packages, including libcomerr2-dev.
