Hi - I took a look at this (as part of a drive to fix as many broken-on-arm packaged as possible for woody).
The problem seems to be that on arm the kernel-source file asm/bitops.h is needed for the bit_test function. USE_KERNEL_BITOPS should be set in bitops.h for ARM, but the configure test for 'asm/bitops.h with useable setbit' is failing. Now there _is_ a useable setbit in linux/include/asm/bitops.h at least on recent kernels, but I'm not quite sure why configure is not finding/liking it (I'm not very good at this autoconf stuff). I wonder if the problem is that nowhere in the build does it specify the directory to include for the kernel source. Also the control file does not say that the build depends on having the kernel sources present (at least for ARM and POWERPC archs). maybe that would fix it. Hope that helps you get to the bottom of this.
