Maybe its a small suggestion then to insert an if-clause that looks for
these files - and in case they are not included just print a warning or
error message saying that hvm cannot be used because of missing files? :)

"apt-get install libx11-dev" brought me that missing file. Its compiling
right now... - but as said, I wonder why I was able to compile 3.0.2, but
not 3.0.3 :D
In case you don't hear any more riots from me, this package (included 3-4
more dependencies) fixed the problem and it compiled well. :)

With my A64 X2 it does also take me not more than an hour, but I do only
have that Celeron to mess around with. Its also my home server with 3
running domains. Firewall, webserver/mailserver and a fileserver for the
private net at home. - enough RAM involved everything seems to be fine.
Its slow, but its working. :D The default kernel compile time took that
long.

For now: Thanks for the help!
