Compile problems with 1.3.49

I just got 1.3.49 and tried to cross compile a linux kernel from Digital Unix.
Many of the #include problems I found yesterday have been fixed in this
kernel (you can not beat 12 hour service :-) ), but line 384 of
drivers/block/rd.c still includes string.h instead of linux/string.h which
breaks the cross compiler.

After I fixed this, I was able to compile, but not link because I am
compiling for a TGA console, and vesa_powerdown() is not defined, but is
called, when you do this. I removed all references to this function, and
everything now compiles and linkes.

Now if I can just find a copy of e2writeboot which will run under Digital
Unix, I can see if it boots. Does anyone know where the source for this
program is?
