Just use the patch from ftp://speakupmodified.org/
with a 2.6.23 kernel...
And that is a stable version.

Also use your old kernel config so you don't have to answer 1000 questions 
just 100. :-)
I would just apt-get install the latest kernel in your distro's repo, 
reboot and copy the config file and then build my kernel (2.6.23) with 
make oldconfig.
I have an irc log that I can give you with a conversation on this.
But you will loose speakup in the newly installed kernel from apt.
So its a good idea to adjust grub once installed. So you have speech and 
the config file...

The irc log goes through building the kernel start to finish.
And talks about make oldconfig and menuconfig...
