Patch for IA64 support using kbuild 2.5 for 2.4.16-ia64-011214.
Build the kbuild 2.5 for ia64-011214 tree in this order:

  Linus's 2.4.16 kernel.
  kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-2 (common and ix86 patches).
  linux-2.4.16-ia64-011214.diff (ia64 changes from Linus's tree).
  kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-ia64-011214-2 (ia64 specific kbuild 2.5 patches).

Then proceed with kbuild 2.5, see Documentation/kbuild/kbuild-2.5.txt.

If you are still using 2.4.16-ia64-011128 you can patch in this order:

  Linus's 2.4.16 kernel.
  kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-2 (common and ix86 patches).
  linux-2.4.16-ia64-011128.diff (older ia64 changes from Linus's tree).
  kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-ia64-011214-2 (the current ia64 kbuild patch).
  Manually edit arch/ia64/kernel/Makefile.in to remove salinfo.o from
  the select list.

NOTE: The previous kbuild 2.5 ia64 patch prevented the use of kbuild
      2.4, this patch attempts to preserve the use of kbuild 2.4 on
      ia64.  It makes the patch quite a bit uglier but is probably
      worth the effort.

This conversion to kbuild 2.5 has only been tested with CONFIG_IA64_DIG=y.  I
could not test with CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM=y (compile and build errors),
CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN[12]=y (no asm/mmzone.h) or CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC=y (all the
problems of each platform).
