I was actually hoping that I could get a little more detailed glimpse
into the development history of the uClinux 2.6.x kernel.  Just
applying one big monolithic patch doesn't provide this information.

Which brings up another question I had regarding the uClinux patches:

I understand that the 'linux-2.6.19-uc0-big.patch.gz' is a patch to be
applied to the vanilla 2.6.19 which brings me all the uClinux changes.
However, what is the purpose of the 'linux-2.6.20-uc0.patch.gz'?

I was assuming it's some sort of delta between linux-2.6.19-uc0 and
linux-2.6.20-uc0, but it's not entirely clear how to get from one to
the next.

1) Download vanilla linux-2.6.19
2) Apply linux-2.6.19-uc0-big.patch.gz
  -- You are now at the released uClinux 2.6.x based on 2.6.19 --

Now, how do you use linux-2.6.20-uc0.patch.gz to get all the way to the
uClinux 2.6.x based on 2.6.20?

I was thinking that you *somehow* apply a patch to get yourself from
2.6.19 to 2.6.20, and then somehow resolve the conflicts inherent in
this merge since the 2.6.19-uc0 patch altered some 2.6.19 files, and
then you should be able to apply linux-2.6.20-uc0.patch.gz.

But what is this magic process to get to the point where
linux-2.6.20-uc0.patch.gz will apply cleanly?
