Good till here.

Nope. The change from -rc3 to -rc4 was just a 3-line fix. So Marcelo
included it in 19-pre1, apart from other things.

So:
2.4.17-21mdk == 2.4.18 + the-binfmt-fix-lost
(even better than plain 2.4.18)
That was my initial point, all that is needed in Cooker to have 2.4.18
is to *change the name* of the current kernel, and change the version
names in the Makefile.
