What do have distributors like we are to do that modules do compile
a distributed header? A build against a vanilla one suceeded!
(2.6.*) Alsa drivers intention is to build against _every_ 2.6
series kernel. I know much installations running a 2.6.11 or
2.6.5...... And there are no bugs like "none headers found" in the
alsa BTS. Think, there are thousands of users which compile their
own alsa-drivers and no one complained about a failure like the
Debian ones. So what is wrong here?

No, the build against a vanilla compiled kernel is absolutely clean
and suceeded. You have to tell m-a where the headers are.

I see. m-a needs to know where to look for. I'll install the headers
and try it again.
