Perhaps try to remove that dependency. If you have LINUX_SOURCE_DIR et
al set properly (see package/pcmcia/pcmcia.mk), then compilation should
succeed.

I have a patch that adds a target option for a generic x86 kernel, but
i'm hesitating to apply it (since more than a year) due to the potential
requests adding it will likely trigger ;)

See above.
