Quoting Riley Williams (rhw@bigfoot.com):

Is there a note about which is the oldest kernel version one can actually compile using recent tools (gcc-2.7.2+, binutils-2.8+, make-3.7x+)?

I once had 1.2.13pl9 and pl10 for m68k Amigas. I'm not sure whether these pl releases were official kernels which had *then* m68k patches applied to them.
I also once had at least one kernel which had PATCHLEVEL= or SUBLEVEL= set to "99" in the Makefile. Not sure which version this actually was (it was >=1.2.x), but I remember that the numbers in its tar filename mentioned a slightly different version. Maybe a lookup in the kernel archive could help.
Do you plan to archive non-x86 kernels, too? Sometimes their evolution was interesting, too (especially the older/first ports).
