Well, you can do that with my bug database - just open a new bug report for each compile failiure, upload a patch to the database, and link the patch with the new bug. You can then collect together all the relevant bug reports in to a confirmed bug for each kernel version. You don't even have to duplicate bug reports if they occur in multiple kernel versions.
