I had practically no trouble (see below) getting 2.1.92 to compile for
my ps2/95 -- presumably because I didn't need any of the broken mca
drivers.

However, 2.1.93, with the same configuration (er.. except I enabled
the new pts support) won't compile, with:

init/main.c: In function `start_kernel':
init/main.c:1090: too few arguments to function `mca_init'
init/main.c: In function `init':

Practically no trouble means that the one thing I had to do to get my
3c523 to be recognized was, in drivers/net:
