It all builds fine on ARM for Debian, but I don't have a system myself and
haven't personally tried to use the packages.  I know others have in the
past, but I don't know how recently.

--disable-linux-syscall-probing when you run configure.  init_mm is only
used by Linux syscall probing, and recent kernels don't like having the
probe code even in the module since they think it means the module has
undefined references to that symbol.

You'll have that problem with a recent kernel on any Linux system, not
just ARM.
