Speaking of the stable queue, I just tried 2.6.24.3 and "make headers_install" 
now dies with:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 
`/home/landley/firmware/firmware/build/temp-i686/linux/include/linux/if_addrlabel.h', 
needed by 
`/home/landley/firmware/firmware/build/cross-compiler-i686/include/linux/if_addrlabel.h'.  
Stop.

I note that 2.6.24.2 didn't do that.

The problem seems t be this hunk:

The corresponding if_addrlabel.h file isn't in the 2.6.24.3 tarball, that I 
can find...
