You can just put them all on the same line, i.e., make-kpkg --append-to-version -2.635amd64_custom kernel_image kernel_headers kernel_source I don't use the -j3 switch, and I don't think that -j3 switch works like you think it does when using make-kpkg, at least, not if that's meant to utilize multiple processors when building. I'm at work right so this is all from memory, but I think the correct way to do it is to do export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 where the number you provide is 1 + the number of processors you have. So if you have a duo-core, it's 3. If a single processor it would be two. And so forth. I seem to recall something in the make-kpkg documentation saying not to use the -j switch. Hopefully someone will correct me or provide more authoritative sources than this sorry excuse for a memory I have. As for your sources bug being symlinked incorrectly, I think I can confirm, however it hasn't negatively affected anything. Things still build properly against the headers / sources on custom kernels even when the build directory in my home dir is removed. But yes, I'm pretty sure I've seen warnings about it not being able to find sources in /home/arthur/linux/kernel/2.6.35/, though they are just strange warnings and I haven't bothered looking into it further since everything seems to still work fine.
