Thanks Bertl!
Well, so far no joy.
I downloaded the source for both kernels 3.14.52 and 3.14.57,
patched 'em both with linux-3.14.52-vs2.3.6.15,
configured 'em both using the config-3.14.57-ipfire and then
'make oldconfig'.
The output of the 3 operations on the .57 source ...

http://jfmxl.sdf.org/linux-3.14.57-vs2.3.6.15/linux-3.14.57-vs2.3.6.15-make-err.html
They both fail to make, with the same error.
include/linux/fs.h:741:15: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘ktag_t’ from type ‘int’
inode->i_tag = make_ktag(&init_user_ns, tag);

I have an arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c but no
arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s
I'm trying to compile these kernels on my debian jessie machine. I don't
know if that's the problem or not.
Thanks again for all your help.
