Actually, that would be 3.9 not 3.8. And I'd really like to avoid such a
dependency. When cross-compiling for embedded systems, a host
'systemd-hwdb' is needed to generate the hwdb. And build servers often run
older Distributions (e.g. Debian stable).

Well, what I really want, is just to build systemd-hwdb and just ignore the
whole btrfs and network stuff, that would require newer kernel headers.
However, the way the systemd build-system is set up, that's currently not
possible.
