You will run into a lot of traps, like the changes in scsi device naming convention, ELF to a.out object format regression, different kernel configurations.. That makes me shiver. :-) I would consider not building it from source, but starting with some old canned binary version. Like FTP-ing some old 2.2.2 boot floppies and doing a minimal binary install over the net..
