Can I start from configs/freescale_imx31_3stack_defconfig?

2.5.5 is kernel-2.6.22 as well (more exactly 2.6.22.19) see released GPL sources.

@NiLuJe: Currently I try to prepare cross build for the sake of trying swapon on DX with 3.x FW. Incidentally your USBnet hack contains parts of Busybox (which contains swapon). Couldn't you easily build it? If not I'll keep trying.
