Thanks, thats the build problem removed, I now have a kernel that builds
properly! (issues 1 and 2 appear to be closed)
Only issue remaining is that I still have a long hang (10 seconds ish) 
after this
Memory: 53540k/57344k available (2156k kernel code, 3744k reserved, 383k
data, 128k init, 0k highmem)
 I am investigating but any help is appreciated...

Does this patch (on top of Vitaly's patch) solve remaining problem?
