kernel version and binutils issues

Hi again, since 2.4 has been deprecated, which is the latest 2.6.x
kernel with full support for SMP on alpha (titan)? Also, is written
that gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources should work well the same, so I
wonder which one I should try first.

Also, while I was trying the stage 1 installation I've went through an
error emerging binutils:

/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1/work/binutils-2.18/bfd/
trad-core.c: In function 'trad_unix_core_file_p':
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1/work/binutils-2.18/bfd/
trad-core.c:122: error: 'PAGE_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this
function)
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1/work/binutils-2.18/bfd/
trad-core.c:122: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1/work/binutils-2.18/bfd/
trad-core.c:122: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[4]: *** [trad-core.lo] Error 1

I've found this:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-10/msg00003.html

that is a patch for glibc-2.4 but also works on 2.5

SMP alpha problems were fixed long ago (~2006) so latest stable should work
just fine.

Whatever you prefer. We recommend gentoo-sources which recieve full
support from the Gentoo Kernel Team.

Stage 1 and Stage 2 installations stop recieving support quite a long
time ago, so please, go for a stage3 one.

This is a known problem. Please try a stage3 clean install and if it
fails, create a bug report and I will check it.

I'm glad to read this... I hope that tomorrow kernel building will go
fine :-)

Ouch! Is that the reason why gentoo handbook jumps from unpacking
stage to kernel configuration? Why stage1 and stage2 tarballs are
still on mirror?

Great. I have to do this, even because I've just discovered that
stage2 has been blocked on coreutils building...

Here we are:

I'm not sure if removing -Werror from compilation flags would be a
good idea... any hint (this is gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10)
