problems compiling 2.4.20 + xfs 1.3.0pre6

[Doubter <doubts@sdf.lonestar.org>]

Surely doing something wrong...

I got ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
then  
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/Release-1.3/pre6/kernel_patches/linux-2.4.20-core-xfs-1.3.0.patch.gz
and   
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/Release-1.3/pre6/kernel_patches/linux-xfs-1.3.0pre6.patch.gz

putting all together...

tar xfj linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
gunzip *patch.gz
cd linux-2.4.20
patch -p1 < ../linux-2.4.20-core-xfs-1.3.0.patch
patch -p1 < ../linux-xfs-1.3.0pre6.patch
cp ../good_config .config
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage

.. I got
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/html/kernel/2.4.20/linux-2.4.20/include -Wall

With kernel version 2.4.21 and patches linux-xfs-1.3.0pre6.patch.gz and 
linux-2.4.21-core-xfs-1.3.0.patch.gz applied in same order and way things 
goes fine, and adapting my 'good_config' kernel config file to 2.4.21 it 
compiles and boots with all support and xfs running AFAIK fine (you known, 
I was very upset by sync issues posted as 07/30/2003 by Blair B. about 
'different behaviour between XFS and ext3', patched now).

Is 1.3.0pre6.patch ok for kernel version 2.4.20? May I use other patches? 
Is the only thing to do move on 2.4.21? (you know, that version number is 
so ugly ;)

Any highligts? 

BTW, please excuse my poor english.. :)

Regards, JML.
