Dunno. I just sort of waded in there with gcc-3.04 and hoped for the
best. I have a compiled kernel but it craps out compiling various
modules (ATA-Raid, I20, other EXPERIMENTAL stuff) which I gradually
remove from the options and try again. On about the 6th go now and it
seems to be getting much further than last time. Thank God I'm doing
this on a fast machine (about 3 minutes for a make dep && make bzImage)

PS. It just stopped on Western Digital Network driver module so *SNIP*.
Attempt No. 7...
