It's not clear to me that you can only limit yourself to ixp425 or nslu2 
files, since there is also some reference to arm/arm files.  But perhaps 
you know better than I.

April 26 won't build.  Two lint issues.
April 27 builds and run.  0 errors in 144 succesive MD5 computations.
April 28 builds, but won't run unless you add the following line to 
std.nslu2 (before you build the kernel):
options     KERNEL_BASE_EXT=0xc0000000
The result is 3 errors in 144 successive MD5 computations.

While it is definite that there is a problem with 20080428 (and all 
later kernels), it is less sure that there isn't a problem with 
20080427.  I think Andy Ruhl was planning to build this version and test 
it as well.
