It would be nice if fakesource could be used to create source trees
also for 2.4.x kernels.
This currently fails in the make dep step because autoconf.h is not
available. I suppose this is because oldconfig is implied in the 2.6
prepare target, but needs to be run explicitly for 2.4.x.
The attached patch makes fakesource work for me to the point that
loop-aes-{source,ciphers-source} can be built correctly for 2.4.27.
Please consider applying it.
cheers,
Max
