I did not upgrade gcc today because I am using the current (previous upgraded)
version from Sid.

As I said, the "bug" was that the kernel make did not create the symlink
of /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/include/asm
--> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/include/asm-i386
The architecture requested is certainly in .config.
Anything special? Should I report it?

OK, just a system time usage reporter. Never used it. SO was not needed to get
the make-kpkg (10.058 now on Sid, didn't take it yet either) to work.
