Hi Christian,
   Thanks for the response. There were just two problems, as best I
can tell. One was in the upper level makefile which the second was in
a more tecnical piece of code. I'm providing the output here more for
conversation and not really asking for technical help on changing
code. This is just for my learning.

   In the first one it appears that Gentoo does an extra version so I
can probably fake my way around this but changing the patch file
itself to expect the Gentoo kernel I want to patch. Is that a
reasonable strategy?

   In the second, since it's apparently just a difference in brakets
I'm more curious about why gentoo-sources would differ from what Ingo
was apparently expectinb in the kernel config file, but again it seems
pretty minor. Would you agree?

Thanks,
Mark
