Hi guido I wrote the patch for mips and mipsel, but for mipsel there is alread 
a little bug fixed on the repeat in the chroot. Hm what will you patch for
subarches? the kernel-pakage works the fowllowing way

1. configure the kernel

2. make-kpkg with options

3. dpkg -i the kernel.deb or do something other stuff like build bootfloppies

The normal kernel-images in the debiantree are diffrent from the kernelpackage
and I think not build with it.
