I pulled down the complete source archive for 2.0.20 and compared the
copy of semaphore.S in my patched directory versus the file in the
complete archive. The patched directory had both the new and the old
version of the routine, in total, as its contents. The complete archive
only had one version of the routine in the file. so I copied it from the
complete archive into the patched directory and then rebuilt the kernel
without any problems at all.
