I also had problems building a kernel package inside elbe. My solution
was to cross-compile a kernel package (modern kernels have a deb-pkg
target to directly build a debian package and debian comes with the
necessary arm cross-compilers) and make it available in an additional
local repository. This repo is configured inside the xml file in the
<mirror> section under <project> as

        <url>
          <binary>
            http://bee.priv.zoo:9090/debian-dist stretch main
          </binary>
          <key>
            http://bee.priv.zoo:9090/debian-dist/pubring.asc
          </key>
        </url>

Wher bee.priv.zoo is the name of the local machine and the server is
running on port 9090.
You need a signed repo, elbe doesn't install from non-signed repos.

If you manage to build inside ELBE using pbuilder a howto here to the
list would be nice.
