Can't you just grab and unpack one of the prebuilt debian kernels from
the archive? qemubuilder can load an initrd image, so even if ipv6 and
ext3 are not built-in, it should work just fine.

If you don't have other architectures available, you could just have
your package uploaded and see if it fails to build. If it does, you'll
have access to the full log, and then you can ask on one of the
dedicated mailing lists; I'm sure there are developers with access to
those machines who'd be happy to help.

Cheers,
