I've noticed in the last couple benh kernels that I cannot set
altivec to yes or no in the config using xconfig or menuconfig, and
that there is no mention of it in the .config file. Also when exiting
xconfig, an error is thrown trying to write CONFIG_ALTIVEC. It's all
consistent, but what's going on - should it be this way or am I
missing the obvious? I can compile, but when I'm building mol it
detects the kernel as noav, which feeds my suspicions.
I'm currently on 2.4.23-pre5-ben0, old world, with a G4/800 Sonnet
upgrade card.

Several things:
a) rsync.penguinppc.org is not a good mirror.
b) clearing out the build directory and resyncing from source.mvista.com
yields up-to-date source code.
c) I didn't realize that xconfig was broken.
With fresh new source and with menuconfig, CONFIG_ALTIVEC can be set properly.

why not? other then the patch files on kernel.org penguinppc is the
cononical home for benh's rsync tree. its not a mirror at all, benh
pushes directly to penguinppc.
