I was actually working on this today, and I was running into that
issue, specifically the missing function references.

I'm irked by using that fix, since it is ck's work, and who am I to
judge what is the right thing to do.  As I write this, I'm thinking
about just bumping up to quantal's kernel.  I have had great luck
running future kernels on stable versions of Ubuntu in the past.  The
only time it didn't work was the 2.x to 3.x version jump, and I'm sure
that was just due to just that.  This way, I wouldn't have to guess at
a fix, and you get the latest bfs.  The only downside is the
unsupported kernel, but you aren't supported anyway with bfs added.

For configuration, I think you just need to run debian/rules
updateconfig, and then answer the questions.  I think you can just hit
enter for them all.

For the issue with binary-ck, Im thinking of dropping the whole make a
separate flavour thing.  I mean, who cares really.

Thankyou for posting your results!  I'm glad you got it working.

Sensual pleasures are like salty water:
The deeper you drink, the thirstier you become.
Any object that you attach to,
Right away, let it go — this is the practice of a bodhisattva
