Hello Jon,
I found that the readme of the linux-source-2.6.15 tree points to the
Documentation/Changes file in the same tree for the minimum version
numbers of the programs required for compilation. Apparently, all files
shipped with sarge are OK for compiling and running the 2.6.15 kernel...
cheers
