We have tested it on a powerbook and a mpc8349e-mitx board, but it seems
they don't believe in me or something, so what is really needed is an
independent test and confirmation.

Could you  do :

  apt-get build-dep linux-2.6
  apt-get source linux-2.6
  cd linux-2.6-2.6.22
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -B

and let it run in the background while you do something else. After an
hour or two, it will either ICE or not.
