Not to mention that a lot of the patches in Xu's sources breaks sparc
builds, so I wont accept any bugs about stock kernel-source-2.4.24 not
building on sparc.
Generally I build-dep on the stock source, and usually back out any
patches that Xu has applied, and then re-apply patches for sparc (which
I am not sending to Xu because then we have a two layer maintainership,
which is a bitch).
