Latest kernels on a Jensen

Has anyone tried to build on the lastet kernels for the Jensen?
I have tried to build 1.3.45 (w/o networking, since I didn't save the
"missingpatch" that Linus sent out) and it dies in arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c
with IACK_SC undefined. 44 does this also, but I have not had time to check
other kernels.
The problem is in line 369. IACK_SC is defined for APECS and LCA via some
nested #ifdefs a few lines above. The comment above 369 suggest that this is
needed (IACK_SC) for a PCI intterupt ACK cycle (No PCI on Jensen, hmmm.....)
but the function is named isa_device_interrupt. I really don't know enough
about the hardware and how Linux talks to it (on the alpha) to be able
to fix it myself (I'm still learning... :( ), so, gurus, suggestions?
Also, if anyone has the missing patch, I'd appreciate a copy, as the archives
on homer.ncm.com seem to butcher it. After uudecode'ng it, I get a
format violation from gzip.
Thanks,
