Sorry, they're Red Hat RPMs, but they're based on ac:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/testing/RH2.4.9-6/kernel-2.4.9-6SGI_XFS_PR1.src.rpm

Any recent Mandrake kernel is based on -ac, there should be SRPMS
somewhere in the ftp hierarchy...

It is a big pain... as it is, the weekly patches are script-generated.
Doing an -ac merge is labor-intensive and time consuming...
...but not really ALL that tricky, most of the time. Any volunteers
with more time than I have? :) FWIW, many of those 24 rejects are
probably trivial - fcntl.h for each architecture comes to mind.
Feel free to give it a shot, I'll offer encouragement and advice when I
can. :)
