linux-headers-2.6.14-2-k7 is no source package, so it can't fail to
build.

oldconfig is not called by kbuild to build modules, what do you do? It
is not even appropriate to call it as the config is always uptodate in
the headers package and this will probably invalidate the symbol version
files.

What happens if you compile it with "make -C /usr/src/$bla M=$(pwd)"?
