Well, that is good news. I _thought_ I had it working as well. Maybe I just
messed up on which of my two machines I was running it?
Which kernel-sources, running kernel, libc6, egcc, ... are you using ? I
think on my build machine it is
edd@miles:~> dpkg -l kernel-image-2.2.7 kernel-source-2.2.5 libc6 egcc|grep ^ii
ii kernel-image-2. edd.1 Linux kernel binary image.
ii kernel-source-2 2.2.5-2 Linux kernel source.
ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries
ii egcc 2.91.66-0slink The GNU (egcs) C compiler.

Well, it might be sufficient if I can bounce a few things off you, and if we
both try a thing or two.

Well, I wrote something simple in Perl for the last package, but Shaleh says
it fails on his box. What does /usr/sbin/compare_kernel_version say for you?
[ Note that I turned the $debug flag on here: ]
edd@miles:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.0
2.2 ? 2.0
2.2 >= 2.0
edd@miles:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.1
2.2 ? 2.1
2.2 >= 2.1
edd@miles:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.2
2.2 ? 2.2
2.2 >= 2.2
edd@miles:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.3
2.2 ? 2.3
2.2 < 2.3

That was all I was shooting for given my limited time. After all, the acct in
slink is fine-for-2.0-but-broken-for-2.2.
