Could it be causing problems? My script (buildit26) takes an old argument and a new argument, that and any patch names needed are edited into it, not passed as arguments, although I have thought of doing that, but as that can lead to typu's getting past these old fingers, I don't trust me doing it with live arguments. It copy's the old .configs to /tmp long enough to unpack the new, then copy's them into the new tree. And they do a make oldconfig after any patches have been applied. It hasn't been edited since I ran it, so I'll attach it. Maybe you can see something I missed.
