Yes, you missed a basic principle of PTXdist: the purpose of this tool
is not to give you a distribution where everything works on the first
click. PTXdist is a development tool which helps developers to remember
what they did once and reproduce it in an easy way.

This means: If you change a pre-existing project, such as
generic-arm-glibc, you have to take care that you do everything the
right way. In this case it means that you have to also tell PTXdist
which series file should be used for your kernel patches, or no series
file at all if you don't need patches. We cannot magically guess if you
need patches for your special ARM board.
