"git clone" succeeded, make did not. After I copied /proc/config.gz
from my running system to .config and added those three CONFIG-options
I mentioned

make

finally failed with

kernel/built-in.o: In function `timespec_add_ns':
/root/debian/debian-linux/linux-2.6-openmoko/include/linux/time.h:174: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

Is this the same failure?

debian-armel:~/debian/debian-linux/linux-2.6-openmoko# git branch
* stable

showed only one branch so I did not see it. Now I noticed that it's a
remote branch:

debian-armel:~/debian/debian-linux/linux-2.6-openmoko# git branch -r
  origin/HEAD
  origin/debian
  origin/stable

so 'git checkout origin/debian' is what I want?

Ah so I should run pdebuild on x86 and it would then start
qemubuilder? I was originally asking if I can just dpkg-buildpackage
inside qemu.

Sure, I was only asking this so that I know I am working with the same
source and can therefore fix bugs before official packages have them.
