Check the ini9100.* files, they are different.

That might be because Alan is including the needed egcs patches in his
2.2.5 kernels. I have not loked into it. I was building both 2.0.37 and
2.2.5 at the same time and both compiles blew up. I backed out the egcs
stuff and both built fine.

Well, I assume if he has the patches for one (his 2.2.5 stuff) then he
knows what he needs to do for 2.0.37 but probably doesn't have the time. I
just know that his 2.0 stuff and Linus' 2.2 stuff won't work with Debian
potato.
