It builds fine for arm with the following command: fakeroot make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- deb-pkg However x86_64 fails (when using an i386 machine). fakeroot make ARCH=x86_64 deb-pkg The error occurs in scripts/package/builddeb + forcearch=-DArchitecture=amd64 + dpkg-gencontrol -isp -DArchitecture=amd64 -plinux-headers-2.6.39-rc7+ -P/opt/kernel-linus/linux-2.6/debian/hdrtmp dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'i386' does not appear in package's architecture list (amd64) The debian/control file is as follows: cat debian/control Source: linux-upstream Section: kernel Priority: optional Maintainer: Anonymous <root@robert-VGN-Z690Y> Standards-Version: 3.8.4 Homepage: http://www.kernel.org/ Package: linux-image-2.6.39-rc7+ Provides: linux-image, linux-image-2.6, linux-modules-2.6.39-rc7+ Suggests: linux-firmware-image Architecture: any Description: Linux kernel, version 2.6.39-rc7+ This package contains the Linux kernel, modules and corresponding other files, version: 2.6.39-rc7+.

This is useful for people who need to build external modules The debian/control file for an unpatched scripts/package/builddeb would assign 'i386' instead of 'amd64'.
