As steubens points out, kernel versions greater than 2.6.33 are not
buildable on karmic using the KernelTeam wiki instructions (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild ).  Several generated
header files have been separated from source headers:

include/linux/utsrelease.h   ---->   include/generated/utsrelease.h
include/linux/compile.h        ---->   include/generated/compile.h
include/linux/autoconf.h      ---->   include/generated/autoconf.h

A kludgy workaround is to link the necessary files back to
include/linux.

Alternately, the attached patch can be applied to kernel-package (in
/usr/share/kernel-package).  Please note that the patch is for kernel-
package-11.015 (karmic).  This should already be fixed upstream in
kernel-package-12.032.

FYI - the build of 185.18.36 nvidia drivers (stock karmic) via dkms is
broken for the same reason (and a couple others).
