We're talking about several different kernel sources here.
Unfortunately.

(1) There's Linus's regular upstream kernel.
(2) There's the GIT repository (in my directory on kernel.org) that
    contains the last recent VAX development
(3) Finally, there's the older 2.6.x based kernel in SF.net's CVS
    repository.

For building the toolchain, the initial_checkout script checks out
-3-. (I did it that way to not force everybody to use GIT. However, my
mind changed in the mean time and I'd accept a patch updating the
script to fetch -2- instead.)

Linus's upstream kernel won't work, no chance there: It's missing the
VAX bits, which libc (as part of a userland-capable compiler) will
need to have. OTOH, for kernel-only work, you shouldn't need all that
much kernel code at all :)
