Happily boots for me. But, no offence, you sir have a talent of finding
trouble at these things. Must be your luck.

Let me remind you that this part of the thread spawned from your
problems (let's put it that way) with building certain magic Linux
kernel under Raspbian.
Contrary to what you seem to believe, building a Linux kernel is not
affected by current kernel version, or the state of the graphical stack.
Adding a couple of advanced concepts, even processor architecture is not
that relevant.

And the appropriate place to report them is called
https://bugs.debian.org. This maillist serves different purpose.
I also have to add that sudo(1) and its configuration, alongside with
the usual "my resolver is borken, how do I configure IP stack, why /sbin
is missing from my $PATH, and how do I compile a kernel" are not
ARM-specific and therefore belong to debian-user. Unless it's Raspbian,
in which case they belong to *their* forum.
Thank you in advance for the understanding,
