Hi Cyril and Petr, I finally got the compilation to finish. It looks like the latest SVN copy didn't have a proper set of patch files that would complete properly yesterday, but the latest copy I grabbed today worked like a charm. I was also able to modify my config so instead of "include GENERIC", I literally put the GENERIC config file in the 686.conf file, and modified it as I needed.
