Since kvm-84 bits has some issues not fixed immediately, so it breaks to compile. If you want to try kvm/ia64, I suggest you use kvm-82, it should work well according to our testings.  Before you compile it, ensure your host kernel version is higher that 2.6.26.  Thanks! 
If you have other questions related to kvm/ia64, feel free to ask in the mailling list.

We didn't try kvm-ia64 on debain before, and just run it on RHEL systems. From the error log, the error should be caused by link script, maybe the link scritpt should be upgraded for debian systems.

For buildup, you can reference the page http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/HOWTO1, although it is written for x86, but the steps are same with ia64 side.
