Well, since we've a bit of time before 2.6.35 arrives, lets fix the 
problems we've got. The first issue is that 
arch/arm/mach-omap2/twl6030_pwm.c is missing which breaks 
arch/arm/mach-omap2/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_LEDS_PWM)                 += 
twl6030_pwm.o

Perhaps you should make sure your tree is really clean, then build under 
an armel schroot using 'debuild -B'.
