Why are you porting 2.2.12? 2.4 is much more easy to port and there's already 
pretty good support for a number of different boards. The tools and glibc 
(2.2.3) are ready and available from a few places. And, you are much more likely 
to get help from someone with the 2.4 kernel, since that's what everyone seems 
to be using. As soon as your 2.2.12 port is done, it will be dead. Who are you 
going to submit it to? Just my 2c anyway.
