Release 3.0 of kernel build for kernel 2.5 (kbuild 2.5) is available.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild/, package kbuild-2.5, download
release 3.0.

kbuild-2.5-core-15
Changes from core-14.

Replace mdbm with kbuild specific database engine to increase
performance.

Remove CML2 support, Dominik Brodowski, Keith Owens.

Remove the restriction on symlinked sources and targets. Aegis
users should be able to use kbuild 2.5 now.

kbuild-2.5-common-2.5.19-1.
Changes from common-2.5.15-4.

Upgrade to kernel 2.5.19.

kbuild-2.5-i386-2.5.19-1.
Changes from i386-2.5.15-2.

Upgrade to kernel 2.5.19.

Larry McVoy provided the mdbm database engine from BitKeeper for use in
kbuild 2.5 release 2.0-2.4, and was extremely helpful in answering my
questions about mdbm. Unfortunately some of the processing required by
kbuild 2.5 did not fit well with the mdbm model. Since an application
specific database will always outperform a generic database, I took
advantage of knowledge about the kbuild data and wrote an application
specific database engine.

This is not a criticism of mdbm - it is a good generic database engine.
I could squeeze a few more seconds out of the build time by using
application specific knowledge.
