[alsa-devel] alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3 won't compile with kernel 2.6.20.3 when Processor family is Core2

Laptop has Pentium Dual Core and Intel HD Audio
Kernel is 2.6.20.3 compiled for Processor family Core2.
In-kernel alsa drivers are 1.0.14rc3 (cat /proc/asound/version) and 
compile ok.
In-kernel drivers do not work for this sound card.

Downloaded 1.0.14rc3 and applied patch_realtek.c
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-cards=hda-intel
"make" gives the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'
> /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3/Makefile:491: 
> /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3/arch//Makefile: No such file or directory


If the kernel is compiled with Processor family = Pentium M, the 
external alsa drivers compile clean and the soundcard works.

So, Processor family = Core2 cannot be selected when using external 
alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.
