Now, regarding the actual bug you're reporting, I've compiled previous versions of 2.6.27 without problems. Are you doing it "the Ubuntu way"? I do exactly the following
Note that steps 1-4 I do because I'm on Hardy. You should be able to use "apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)" instead. Step 6 I need to do for some reason.
This should produce the .deb files you need in order to install your kernel cleanly. Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile for more info, especially the restricted modules which you may also want.
If you follow the procedure above, do you still get an error?
You don't need to recompile the whole kernel to get a patched driver. For example, to patch sis190.ko under 2.6.24 I just do:
1$ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) $(uname -r) .config net/sis190. ko
2$ cd linux-2.6.24
3$ cp /boot/config-
4 [ patch sis190.c ]
5$ make drivers/
and that's that.
