That is true, 102 is compiled with (I think) gcc-2.7.2. Of course, that compiler doesn't even compile the newer kernels.
Jay sent me a larger patch that includes this patch with it, so I will try his larger patch first. I have high hopes, it's been a long time since I've been able to compile a working kernel for my alpha:-(
