problem compiling linuxppc_2_4_devel for MBX

[Pete Flugstad]

Greetings,

   I'm attempting to build a snapshot of the linuxppc_2_4_devel
for the MBX board, and I'm getting a compile error.  I've setup
the binutils and cross-compiler for powerpc-linux and that all
went without a hitch.  I grabbed a snapshot of the PPC tree using
BK:

   bk clone bk://ppc.bkserver.net/linuxppc_2_4_devel linuxppc_2_4_devel

Then I did a "bk -r co" to get all the files in place (that step
should be documented somewhere - maybe on the "getting the kernel
page": http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml ).

I did (is the "mbx_config" step documented anywhere?):

   make mbx_config
   make oldconfig
   make menuconfig -- update to taste/needs
   make dep
   make clean
   make zImage

The make zImage fails:

Looks like something changed drastically in the generic kernel
sources somewhere? The i8259_pic structure doesn't have anything
even resembling an "irq_offset" member.

Would I be better off dropping back to linuxppc_2_4 (stable), or is
that going to fail on me as well?

Thanks,
