Bug#509547: rt2500-source fails to build against 2.6.27 (AMD64)

[Vítězslav Kotrla]

Package: rt2500-source
Version: 1:1.1.0-b4+cvs20080623-2
Severity: normal

I've noticed rt2500-source fails to build (at least on AMD64) against
kernel 2.6.27, first I failed with vanilla 2.6.27.5 from kernel.org,
then while trying latest debian experimental 2.6.27 snapshot[1]. See
'make-kpkg modules-image' output below.

Also please see similar problem (but 2.6.26) reported upstream:
