Does anyone know for any snapshot for the SPARC platform that is
more up to date than the sparclinux-2.0.30.tar.gz on vger?

The pre-patches don't like the sparclinux-2.0.30 tree, even after I
try to fixup any rejects I see.

For all 2.0.x kernels, and this will always be the case for 2.0.x let
me assure you, you need to use the special cooked up kernels I have.
There were too many local changes to merge in cleanly when Linus
finally started the 2.0.x to make Sparc work with those.

People will need to be patient, but when Linus puts out 2.0.31 for
real I'll merge all that stuff into my local tree and make a release
for the Sparc folks.
