And why does alsa_source builds fine with stock vanilla kernel?:

....
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver'
/usr/bin/make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.30 SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver  CPP="gcc-4.3 -E" CC="gcc-4.3" modules
make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.30'

  CC [M]  /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore/hwdep.o
  CC [M]  /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore/memory_wrapper.o
.....

There must be something wrong with the headers. BTW on 2.6.31 it builds fine as
well! All modules ;-)
