Public bug reported:

The jaunty git tree's version of ubuntu/heci defines
extern int debug;
 which conflicts with Linux's own symbol of that name on AMD64 at least.  
(seems to be a kprobe entry in entry_64.S)

I looked at upstream, and heci-5.0.0.30.tar.gz from
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=193428&package_id=227758
renamed the variable to heci_debug.  (I only checked the latest, 5.0.0.30, so I 
don't actually know when this fix happened.)

 This only affects custom configs with CONFIG_HECI=y, not the default =m.
Manually changing debug to heci_debug where it occurs in the current 
ubuntu/heci subtree is sufficient to make Linux build with my config, so you 
could just patch that if you want to fix this bug without breaking the Jaunty 
freeze too badly.
