Henry, I disable the abicheck.py in debian/bin by adding:

        return 0

after:

    def __call__(self, out):
        ret = 0

and then that error goes away.

I detailed that in May 2007:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2007-05/msg01287.html

I never investigated the ABI error since I am just using the generated 
kernel for myself: I just generated 2.6.24-1-686 with the -ck patch.
