I'll put the CI20 to work on it as soon as it is finished building a Raspberry 
Pi Zero toolchain that maybe will work this time.

Since my hardware tends not to withstand the weight of these repositories 
under Git management, I will download the snapshot of the tree from the 
appropriate page:

Indeed. Linux kernel development is like the Wild West with all these 
different repositories all over GitHub and the Internet. Microsoft's servers 
must be full of Linux kernel source tree copies.

One step at a time! ;-)

P.S. I know that you weren't too enthusiastic about it, but I changed my 
makesd variant to use the system definition syntax I mentioned:

More work is needed to support all the features, however.
