the build process of virtualbox is called with ARCH=i386, which is
wrong.  So I am not sure which file to check, actually.  How does it
deduce the architecture?  By looking into the kernel tree somehow?

But you are right, it works with the Debian-provided linux-2.6.24, so
the only question which remains is:  got my git-tree-based building
confused or is there indeed an issue with vanilla kernels.  I will
switch to the Debian-provided kernel, because they are available now.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
