Oh, you're right.

After a little more investigation, the grounds for my guess were wrong
anyway.  I guess I would want to know instead:

 - where can I read a little about the many users experiencing this?
   (e.g., was there a mailing list discussion?)  That might help in
   pinning down relevant variables.

 - what is the newest version you know of that worked?  One can use
   https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=linux-2.6&arch=armel to
   find which versions actually got built on arm, or something like

	fakeroot debian/rules source
	fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_armel_none_kirkwood

to build a version if you have the source installed.

Sorry for the confusion,
Jonathan
