However coLinux patches continue using arch/i386, so if the symlink does not exist at the time of applying the patches a directory arch/i386 is created with only coLinux files in it. That causes subsequent build to fail.

Ah, yes. That is true. Sorry for trouble with that.
As long kernel 2.6.22 exist with more recent kernels, we had to merge 
both patches via softlink.

Since kernel 2.6.22 was removed inside coLinux 0.7.8, this softlink was 
removed from bin/build-kernel.sh, and no longer need.

By the while: The comouse.c was fixed in source of coLinux 0.7.8 now.
