The missing Makefile_32.cpu is a bug in the linux-headers-2.6.29 package.
I already did a bug report on it.  Now even if you fix that, the nvidia
package still fails to build, but I got most of the way through fixing
that yesterday, and Randall is looking at it now.  Should be fixed
very soon.  Hopefully the linux-headers package will be too.
