you got it. It's long and a pain to generate.
I hope this means that someone will read this and suggest how I might
take this problem forward.

I want to run XEN inside VirtualBox. Which works straight up.
But I also want to have the Vbox Guest Additions available, at least in
Dom0.
Therefore, I want to build them for linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64.
First step is to build under the 'plain' debian kernel: 2.6.26-2-amd64
Just to show I can...
Then progress to the harder version.
[It doesn't build under either, though I'll only show one.]
=> Try building the plain debian linux-image first.
cmhr11880:~# uname -r
2.6.26-2-amd64
=> The modules I *could* install. Note there isn't one for xen-amd
cmhr11880:~# aptitude -w 110 search virtualbox-ose-modules

=> Hence my description "A compile time error"
I searched for the missing symbol. Never declared, only used.
=> Am I doing something wrong, or is the debian source package broken??
What do I do *next* to progress this??
