Vivek was able to get the i386 relocatable code into 2.6.20 which involved
removing the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and replacing it with
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN.  So now if you guys include the following options
into the base kernel

CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN=0x400000
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

you can use the same base kernel for the kdump kernel.  No compiling a
second kernel!!  Of course the ia64 folks have had this luxury for awhile.
:)

Cheers,
Don
