i've got the same kind of problem while trying to compile virtualbox
(other disto, other cpu, other kernel but anyway) :

"Linux kernel headers not found at /lib/modules/2.6.17-9mdv/build"

in configure.log i find the following error :
"tmp_src.c:2:27: error: linux/version.h: No such file or directory"

and building the kernel makes version.h appear (and solves the problem
for virtualbox)
