There are howtos on Ubuntu's site that describe how to download pre-built, Ubuntu-specific kernels.

When you recieve a 'Segmentation fault' error running vserver-utils try useing latest [http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/ dietlibc]

Or alternatively, use debian packages. The binaries are staticly linked as far as I known so it doesn't matter.
