OK, so I took this one step further.  Installed kernel-source-2.6.21, 
changed CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y to CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n and build a new kernel 
that is otherwise identical to the one from the Debian repo.  I also 
reinstalled the default linux-kbuild, and after booting into this 
kernel, was able to build the fglrx module without any issues.

Thanks for all who replied!
