Bug#308621: kernel-kbuild-2.6-3: modpost can't be used on x86_64 kernels

[Patrice Fournier <pfournier@loups.net>]

Package: kernel-kbuild-2.6-3
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: important

Extra modules can't be built for an x86_64 kernels as the modpost linked
from the kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp/scripts/mod directory is
looking for 32 bits ELF headers.

You can test this by using modpost on any x86_64 kernel module and
you'll get "no symtab" error.

I had to grab the kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 for amd64 and use
--force-architecture to install it to be able to build the extra module
I needed.
