    Hi,
            I'm going to do this for myself anyway but I'm wondering if anyone
    here has either done this before or knows a nice way to do it..

    I've got a system for a regulated market based on a standard 2.6.6 kernel,
    now the problem I have is I have to be able to rebuild the exact same
    kernel image months or years from now on a different system, now I have my
    own toolchain so that isn't a major issue, the problem I have is the
    kernel's compile.h file ..

    My plan at the moment is probably just to replace the script that creates
    that file with a hack to make the file the same always... anyone any nicer
    way to do this?

    Thanks,
    Dave.
