Finally got it working. Turns out there was some problem compiling 2.6.3 with gcc-3.3; when I changed the /usr/bin/gcc symlink back to the older gcc-2.95, it compiled fine.
Thanks, Mark.
I don't think that was the problem:
$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 (Debian 20040314)
I have been rolling my own 2.6 kernels for months now, and gcc 3.3 hasn't had a single problem. You may want to investigate further.
