Cool,

Anyway it seems that you patch a bit too much :<)
afaik the latest failed log in <http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/>
shows the same as my build:
+ make oldconfig
/var/www/download/linux-2.6/autobuild/linux-2.6.17/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 1: gcc-3.4: command not found
/var/www/download/linux-2.6/autobuild/linux-2.6.17/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 1: gcc-3.4: command not found
/var/www/download/linux-2.6/autobuild/linux-2.6.17/arch/parisc/Makefile:43: *** Sorry, your compiler is too old (0000).  GCC v3.3 or 
above is required..  Stop.
+ return 8

so I trust that this hunk should be simply reverted to fix the pb:
