Zack,
I kicked this off on my testing/unstable hybrid hppa box:
	dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us

Source/Build tree is on:
    iou.parisc-linux.org/~grundler/monotone-0.36/

hppa is a 32-bit user space and this system is running a 64-bit kernel.

Please let me know off list if you would like access to that machine
and/or ia64-linux machines.

cheers,
grant
