nvidia binary drivers to get glx and xorg 1.11.0 on sid

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks@post.harvard.edu>]

Hi

I have  been using the nvidia binary drivers
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.25-pkg2.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.30-pkg2.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.31-pkg2.run

on my desktop running sid. 

Recently with the upgrade to linux kernel 
linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64

I found that I had difficulty compiling nvidia drivers against 3.x kernels and additionally 
I found that the current stable and beta nvidia drivers wont run with 
the current sid xorg version 1.11

I have tried to go back to the older stable kernel 

linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64

but when I try to compile I find that the gcc-4.3 that was used to compile the kernel
which is neccessary to compile the nvidia drivers against the linux-headers
linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common
has been removed from sid since it conflicts with libgcc1.

I guess I have to compile my own kernel 2.6.32 kernel from source using a more recent gcc.

but what to do about the xorg version and not running against 1.11?

unfortunately kernel.org is down. where can i get the older kernel sources.
any other ideas?
