problem compiling linuxppc_2_4_devel for MBX

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:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pete/powerpc-linux/linuxppc_2_4_devel/arch/ppc/kernel'
powerpc-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/pete/powerpc-linux/linuxppc_2_4_devel/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -I/home/pete/powerpc-linux/linuxppc_2_4_devel/arch/ppc -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring   -nostdinc -I /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.3/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=m8xx_setup  -c -o m8xx_setup.o m8xx_setup.c

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pete/powerpc-linux/linuxppc_2_4_devel/arch/ppc/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/ppc/kernel] Error 2

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,
Pete Flugstad

It appears you included PCI and other things which haven't worked
in ages.  The MBX will work as an 860 processor, and only with
the internal peripherals.
