Re: CIPE fails in RH FC3 kernels (2.6.9 & 2.6.10)

I have rebuilt the RH kernel .src.rpm successfully without REGPARM.
(Life lesson: don't leave spurious $ARCH variables lying around, which
are otherwise useful for $PATH-specific settings.)

  -CONFIG_REGPARM=y
  +# CONFIG_REGPARM is not set

The resulting kernel is installed and running.  I built CIPE 1.6.0
against that kernel with --disable-debug --disable-pkcipe
--enable-bug-compatible.  It identifies itself in config.h as being
REGPARM-free:

  /* Use register parameter passing (EXPERIMENTAL) */
  /* #undef USE_REGPARM */

But the resulting cipcb.ko still chokes the new kernel with an oops.
Others seem to have FC3 + REGPARM disabled + CIPE 1.6.0 running
without incident.  Am I missing some other bit of magic?
