UPDATE 4

Ok so the good news is, it builds ok, and it does now boot the kernel on the Hardy daily live.

The bad news is that there is a graphics problem. The kboot bit itself is fine. But the boot progress screen shows only it's first frame with dodgy colours then hangs. The OS does keep booting though, and eventually when X starts it shows it's red and blue ncurses error screen, but that is also corrupt as there is no text visible just the coloured background panes. Swapping to a pseudo terminal does work either - shows term text just once, swapping out to another term and back then all pseudo terms go blank.

Investigating. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

To aid review by others I have uploaded the .deb and the otheros.bld binary temporarily on my website:
