None of the above was the problem.

This was the problem.

It can always happen that one out of fifty patches breaks compilation on
some architectures, and I'm for sure not the one with the worst
errors/patches ratio.
-mm is an experimental kernel and although breakages are unfortunate,
they do happen.
I'm already compiling every single patch with both a non-modular and a
completely modular .config for i386. This is the amout of testing I can
afford. If this isn't considered enough I have to stop submtting
patches.
