PTXdist does support the -rmk patches, you might try it out. Although I
must say I'm not happy with the way we handle this kind of "feature
patches" now. For "bugfix patches" we use the same method as crosstools,
but for feature patches there is too much magic in the makefiles at the
moment...

You only need Nicolas Pitre's patches if you are on a PXA platform and
use kernel 2.4.
