That's compiled, that is. I'm trying to track down the bug in more; mount
I fixed last night and will submit a patch for soon. Etc.

Now, this is a problem. You can't use that kernel on PPC because the libc
was compiled with 2.1.106, as I understand it. You're having a variant of
the chown()/lchown() war. I'm having another one and I don't seem to be
able to get rid of it :)
It's like this:
I am running kernel 2.1.102, libc compiled with 2.1.106, kheaders 2.1.108.
Should all qualify as 'close enough'. But, a recompiled tar can handle
chown just fine, and dpkg can't. I'm not quite sure what the issue is.
And of course, dpkg-deb + glibc 2.0.9x + kernel > 2.1.42 still barfs for
NO known reason iff its input file is on an ext2 partition. Ideas?
BTW, the gzip package in the archive needs to be rebuilt. I'll upload that
if I get a chance - it causes a few of the format violated errors dpkg
was giving me.
