I've used 2.95.4 to compile all the kernel versions for the m68k Macs
since 2.2.20 without problems. I have Woody installed on my Quadra 650
and have used 2.95.4 to compile the recent 2.2.22 and 2.2.23 kernels I
make available for the 68k Macs on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-mac68k/ I haven't had any
problems running the resulting kernels on 12 different 68k Macs.
Incidentally you can get the 2.2.23 source code from
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/linux-mac68k
You'll want the linux-2_2 branch. I'm not aware of any 2.2 level
patches for Ataris or Amigas that are not already in this repository.
