To clarify this: the kernel booted, but the compiler still complained,
correct?
 
You need to cross-compile if you still have 32bit userland, or install
pure64 first. Please look at the amd64 howto on alioth:

If you boot with the 32/64bit kernel found at John Goezen's site, you
will be able to install pure64 and compile the kernel in there.
