Testing isn't required to be buildable from itself. Packages are usually built from unstable, and migrate to testing eventually when the binary package has all its dependencies met. > >> and more interesting: is there a workaround for me to build my own kernel > >> anyway? > > > >Use kernel-patch-2.4.27-mips plus the kernel-source-2.4.27 deb from unstable. > > that's what I'm doing as described above I hope, but somewhere on the way I > still get stuck with dpkg-buildpackage. Download kernel-source-2.4.27 from the archive, e.g. via wget http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.4.27/kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27-7_all.deb and install it with dpkg -i. Btw, kernel-patch-2.4.27-mips will try to build all kernels supported for mipsel, you may want to comment out all other subarchitectures besides cobalt in debian/rules (in the subarches := ... line).
