Do not expect to compile code in this chroot for the Kindle.
Debian/Unstable uses a kernel and gLibc that is newer than what is running on the Kindle.
And it is hardware floating point, the Kindle uses software floating point.

Your info box says you only have a Kobo.
Have you actually tried this on a K3?

The links that you do have that are working, are to very old add-ins for the K3 keyboard, not for current Kindle models.

Just scroll up to post 48 of this thread, it has links to the original on several cloud servers.
Than one is specifically setup for compatibility with the '5' series (touch screen) Kindles.

Lots of luck, getting X11 running on the K3 keyboard.
It has been tried before.

If you had stuck with the touch screen models, which this thread topic is intended for, you would find they are already running X11.
