It might help if the README contained a listing of what programs and what versions are needed to compile and run that version of the kernel. README does tell you that you need gcc version >=2.7.0, and vaguely announces that you need "the new binutils package", but it doesn't mention the genksyms dependency, or the potential libc problem recently reported here. A lot of wasted time could be avoided if when someone discovers such a dependency, he could submit it as a patch to README and save everyone else from having to find out the hard way.
