That's too bad.
Unfortunately I'm not in a position to help you out there.

The changes to get the release (1.950) version working are minimal.
The only changes of note were that AF_MPLS needs another value, since
the one it uses is now taken, 
and the function subsys_remove_file seems to have been removed from
the kernel.

ItWorksForMe =)
The kernel-patch at least.
In the simplest possible way with static hand-configured labels.
I haven't tested your dev-tree tho, just ver 1.950.

I'm going to be testing quagga with MPLS next.
What setup do you recommend for testing?
Currently I have two vmware-guests connected using two interfaces:
(Tried UML but it didn't behave)
       [internet]
        _____|____
       /  (eth0)  \
   [G1]            [G2]
       \__(eth1)__/

It seems to be a bit simple, and it doesn't have any other hardware.
I'm going to see if I can't borrow a cisco from work and connect that
one too.
