Release 3.0 of kernel build for kernel 2.5 (kbuild 2.5) is available.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild/, package kbuild-2.5, download
release 3.0.

kbuild-2.5-core-15
  Changes from core-14.

    Replace mdbm with kbuild specific database engine to increase
    performance.

    Remove CML2 support, Dominik Brodowski, Keith Owens.

    Remove the restriction on symlinked sources and targets.  Aegis
    users should be able to use kbuild 2.5 now.

kbuild-2.5-common-2.5.19-1.
  Changes from common-2.5.15-4.

    Upgrade to kernel 2.5.19.
   
kbuild-2.5-i386-2.5.19-1.
  Changes from i386-2.5.15-2.

    Upgrade to kernel 2.5.19.


Larry McVoy provided the mdbm database engine from BitKeeper for use in
kbuild 2.5 release 2.0-2.4, and was extremely helpful in answering my
questions about mdbm.  Unfortunately some of the processing required by
kbuild 2.5 did not fit well with the mdbm model.  Since an application
specific database will always outperform a generic database, I took
advantage of knowledge about the kbuild data and wrote an application
specific database engine.

This is not a criticism of mdbm - it is a good generic database engine.
I could squeeze a few more seconds out of the build time by using
application specific knowledge.

Why was CML2 support removed?

ESR has dropped off the list.  CML2 and kbuild 2.5 are completely
independent and having the two in the same patch was getting messy.
The config rules in kbuild 2.5 are clean, support for other variants of
CML can be added at any time.

Got this trying to compile 2.5.20 with Debian's gcc 2.95.4.
Why it took the system-wide zlib.h?

In order to do separate source and object correctly, kbuild 2.5
enforces the rule that #include "" comes from the local directory,
#include <> comes from the include path.  include/linux/zlib.h
incorrectly does #include "zconf.h" instead of #include <linux/zconf.h>,
breaking the rules.

This was not detected by common-2.5.20-1 because the nostdinc check was
incomplete, common-2.5.20-2 does nostdinc correctly.  I avoid changing
the source code for kbuild 2.5, instead I workaround these incorrect
includes by adding extra_cflags() with FIXME comments to correct the
code later.  I will do a common-2.5.20-3 to workaround zlib.h, in the
meantime try this quick and dirty fix

Sorry for delay. The patch fixed things, indeed.
And i personally prefer the way you did it here
much more to any workarounds.

New files:

kbuild-2.5-core-17
kbuild-2.5-common-2.5.20-3
kbuild-2.5-i386-2.5.20-2

    Synchronize link order with 2.5.20.  Between 2.5.15 and 2.5.19
    there were several changes to the kernel link order that look
    dubious to me.  Originally kbuild 2.5 for 2.5.20 preserved the
    original order from 2.5.15, but I have since decided to follow the
    2.5.20 link order, even if it looks broken in places.

    common-2.5.20-3 also adds workarounds for include/linux/zlib.h.

New files:

kbuild-2.5-core-18
  Change from core-17.

    Add a missing case for dependency standardization.

kbuild-2.5-common-2.4.18-8
kbuild-2.5-i386-2.4.18-3

    Synchronize link order method with 2.5.20, so both 2.4 and 2.5
    versions of kbuild 2.5 use the same process.

kbuild-2.5-common-2.4.19-pre10-1
kbuild-2.5-i386-2.4.19-pre10-1

    Upgrade to 2.4.19-pre10.  Also has new link order method.

New files:

kbuild-2.5-core-19
  Change from core-18.

    Change allno/allyes/allmod to all*config.
    Replace $([<^@][DF]) with $(dir/notdir).
    Do a dummy write to the database to workaround a kernel bug on
    timestamps of mmaped files.

kbuild-2.5-i386-2.4.18-4
kbuild-2.5-i386-2.4.19-pre10-2

    Backport CC/CC_real fix from 2.5.

kbuild-2.5-common-2.5.21-1
kbuild-2.5-i386-2.5.21-1

    Upgrade to 2.5.21.

More arch patches for 2.5.21 to follow.
