Building module packages for the i386 kernel 2.6.18-4-amd64

[Arne Nordmark <nordmark@mech.kth.se>]

Hello,

I found out about the recent (re)addition of amd64 kernels to the i386 
architecture.

I downloded the linux-headers-2.6.18-4-amd64 version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 
and tried building modules on an etch i386 system (running 2.6.18-3-k7) 
with module-assistant, but the two modules I tried (openafs and nvidia) 
failed to compile.

I guess that gcc needs to be called with -m64, but I do not know how to 
get module-assistant (or make-kpkg) to include that compiler option.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Arne
