I got similar errors when building openafs-1.2.10 on Debian 'sid' for
a 2.4.22 kernel on i386.  The problem turned out to be that 'sid' had
kernel headers from 2.5.x in /usr/include. I don't know if this problem
exists on ia64 too.

If this is your problem, you could try to compile like this:

C_INCLUDE_PATH=/my/kernel/source/include make-kpkg modules-image

It solved my build problems.
