Compiling 2.4.18pre7, and also 2.4.18pre7ac, runs into various troubles
with symbols. Here is what I got more or less accidentally. :-)
A module drivers/char/drm/sis.o ends up with unresolved symbols
depmod: sis_free
depmod: sis_malloc
The trouble is that these modules are exported by drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c
so depmod has valid complaints if the first was configured and the other
not. So this is a source error or a configuration error depending if
these two are supposed to be independent or not.
'isa_eth_io_copy_and_sum' is defined only for some architectures but
assorted modules, like drivers/net/3c503.o and few others, can be
configured, say, for Alpha and 'depmod' once again complains about
unresolved symbols. I do not think that anybody will really miss that
on Alpha but maybe configuring them in should be disallowed?
Some sound modules are using 'mdelay', defined in linux/delay.h,
but are not including this header. Here, at last, the patch is trivial. :-)
