The two way I've seen or used:
You basically ldd all the libraries and binaries it creates. Try to find
those libraries with things like dpkg -S

Second way is you setup a pbuilder or something like this. Then only 
install what you need until it compiles.

The first way is easier, but much less accurate.
The second way is, to an extent, very accurate. It's basically what
is recommended for Debian packagers. In that case you have to be
accurate to update the control file so the automatic builders of the
package for other architectures install the right thing.
