Pascal,
In commit f8eeaaf4180334a8e5c3582fe62a5f8176a8c124, build.c has already
changed, and I don't believe it's very compatible with this change.
See
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f8eeaaf4180334a8e5c3582fe62a5f8176a8c124
Also, we'll need to see comments from H. Peter Anvin on this patch.
CC'ing him.

* modified by Chris Noe (May 1999) (as86 -> gas)
- * gutted by H. Peter Anvin (Jan 2003)
+ *
+ * rewritten to support up to 32Mb kernel, cmdline
+ * and any disk geometry by <[email protected]>
*
* BIG FAT NOTE: We're in real mode using 64k segments. Therefore segment
* addresses must be multiplied by 16 to obtain their respective linear
* addresses. To avoid confusion, linear addresses are written using leading
* hex while segment addresses are written as segment:offset.
*
+ * bde - should not jump blindly, there may be systems with only 512K low
+ * memory. Use int 0x12 to get the top of memory, etc.
+ *
+ * It then loads 'setup' directly after itself (0x90200), and the system
+ * at 0x10000, using BIOS interrupts.
+ *
+ * The loader has been made as simple as possible, and continuous
+ * read errors will result in a unbreakable loop. Reboot by hand. It
+ * loads pretty fast by getting whole tracks at a time whenever possible.
