Aye.

There's still some Real Programmers (Tm) out there :-)

Right ;-)

I think that goto could be easily avoided... but I am not a Real Programmer

Avoiding gotos for the purpose of avoiding gotos is absolutely
silly (as the compiler translates them to jumps, which are the
same in asm) and positively harmful (for the legibility of the
code; I wish I had goto in mksh…).

I managed to build an amiga kernel from linux-source-3.8 (in experimental)
with this command:

make KBUILD_DEBARCH=m68k ARCH=m68k CROSS_COMPILE=m68k-linux-gnu- deb-pkg

You can just run dpkg-buildpackage -am68k…

With this is should be easy to (cross-) build kernel-images for m68k with
additional patches and minimized config, since this does not use Debian's
gencontrol.py. Maybe I will try to understand that later.

I don’t think that’s a good thing. And patches can be added to the
normal process with not too much difficulty… but YMMV, and it’s up
to the person doing the work.

IMHO we should try to get to as close to the normal Debian processes
as possible though. I’d wager a guess and say that, if you ask, for
example, waldi or bwh in IRC, they’d be happy to help (as opposed to
see you doing some nōn-standard stuff).
