make-kpkg: ld bombs on misc.o

[Pat Kennedy <hacman@iquest.net>]

I'm unable to build a kernel .deb package with the 
2.0.34-4 kernel source and other required/suggested packages as
documented in /usr/doc/kernel-package/README. Doing
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image 
compiled everything, but, at the linker phase...

make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/arch/i386/boot/compressed'
gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -O2 -DSTDC_HEADERS -o xtract xtract.c
gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -O2 -DSTDC_HEADERS -o piggyback piggyback.c
./xtract /usr/src/linux/vmlinux | gzip -9 | ./piggyback > piggy.o

-o misc.o
ld -qmagic -Ttext 0xfffe0 -o bvmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000fffe0

misc.o(.text+0x1ec1): undefined reference to `input_len'
misc.o(.text+0x1ed7): undefined reference to `input_data'

Could this possibly be related to the following typical message 
from my install of libc-kheaders_2.0.32-5.deb?
                                      ^^
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
 trying to overwrite `/usr/include/linux/kernel.h', which is also in
package libc6-dev

(error messages also from many more header files)

Any tips greatly appreciated.
	Thanks, Patrick
