I think the problems with 2.0.36 can only be attributed to
the kernel developers insofar as they let redhat bundle an
unfinished release with 5.2. The "pristine" sources (and I
use the term purely because RH claim to release only
pristine sources) I used once the 2.0.36 kernel was
actually released built fine, had significantly different
configuration options (much closer to the previous release
than the RH version) and built without any problems,
whereas my attempt at building the RH 2.0.36 kernel failed
with config errors.
