The kernel is very important indeed and it did break in our build test. I'm sorry, somehow I missed filing bug for the linux package, just for user-mode-linux. The following patch fixes the FTBFS: --- linux-4.7.8/debian/rules.d/Makefile.inc +++ linux-4.7.8/debian/rules.d/Makefile.inc @@ -5,7 +5,8 @@ SHELL = /bin/sh -e -CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc +CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc -no-pie +LD = $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -no-pie CXX = $(CROSS_COMPILE)g++ CFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS) -Wall CPPFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS) \ Maybe the ld part is obsolete, I have not checked that.
