For precisely this reason, I used 2.2.19pre17 for the boot-floppies
that went into i386.
Your subject line is alarmist. The default kernels for i386 were

Um, can someone explain to me the urgency of using 2.2.19 rather than
2.2.19pre17?
My experience of the 2.2.19 kernels is that they are still unsuitable
for building. I will research more so I can more demonstrations of
this.
