Debian Sarge is "Stable".

Which version of gcc do you use? Testing and Unstable currently use gcc
4. Mixing gcc 3.3 and gcc 4 could lead to some breakages. Specifically I
would assume that your kernel headers are from Sarge (Stable).

BTW: If you want debs of 1.2 for Sarge:

  deb http://rapid.dotsrc.org/ experimental/
  deb http://rapid.dotsrc.org/ unstable/

Note that they are bristuffed. Don't like that? the souces are there
(s/deb/deb-src/). edit debian/patches/00list to remove the bristuff
patch and rebuild. I believe no other patch depends on it.

apt-get source asterisk
cd asterisk-<version number>
and then either:
dpatch-edit-patch a_new_patch
  # edit the change
  exit
# or brute-force manually edit files
# don't forget to log your changes:
# the following two are from the package devscripts:
dch -n # -n: increment the version number a bit.
debuild -uc -us

now you'll have fresh new packages in the directory above. I figure
you'll only need to upgrade the binary package asterisk itself if the 
change is a simple tweak.
