Probably not much Paul,I was trying to point out a much bigger problem for 
many of us at least on the x86 machinery, who seem to have accepted that 
support of their machinery has now apparently been deprecated, by something 
in the make oldconfig region.  The arch/mn10300 problem is completely lost 
in the noise of this breakage to the x86 people.  And I dare say there are 
more of us by a factor of at least 100.

Cheers, Gene
