My mistake. I subscribe to both LKML and linux-arm, and I was under
the impression it was sent to the former.

I just recompiled my kernel with the patches from linux-arm and all
went ok. I have originally taken the patches from gmane archives, and
they somehow became corrupted.

The compiler was the binary distribution from CodeSourcery. It seems
all reported errors were from corrupted patches. We're now testing the
latest 20070602 systemtap snapshot which seems to include ARM support
(from what I've read on its Changelog).

Thanks for your help! Regards,
