Argh, sorry - I have too many /tmp/.config* files :/

Your fix is then to use the 2.6.27.x version instead of hardcoding
2.6.27.10 - That will make you use 2.6.27.39 which has the getline fix.

Notice that your kernel headers version doesn't need to be the same as
the kernel version you're using.

I don't know about PXA in particular (but even if so, please use the
latest in the 2.6.27.x series). In general, the latest stable kernel
release (currently 2.6.31.6) is the most sensible choice.
