Tried installing the needed package? On SUSE it's called "linux32".

Also, tried compiling UML itself on a real 32-bit box (with static linking, 
obviously)?

Hmm, interesting... However, the more likely culprit is CONFIG_SMP:


include/asm-i386/ptrace.h

#if defined(CONFIG_SMP) && defined(CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER)
extern unsigned long profile_pc(struct pt_regs *regs);
#else
#define profile_pc(regs) instruction_pointer(regs)
#endif
instruction_pointer is defined, profile_pc is not.

Disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO and FRAME_POINTER should become 'n'.

Let me recall: you *did* succeed on your older fully-32bit Debian Woody 
system, right? Or did I leave something unfixed behind?
