1.3.20: to NET or not to NET

I got some "Undefined symbol" when compiling 1.3.20 *without* CONFIG_NET:
in net/network.a(socket.o):
_verify_iovec it's in net/core/iovec.o
in net/network.a(unix.o)
_kfree_skb it's in net/core/skbuff.o
_sock_setsockopt it's in net/core/sock.o
_sock_getsockopt it's in net/core/sock.o
_sock_alloc_send_skb it's in net/core/sock.o
_memcpy_fromiovec it's in net/core/iovec.o
_datagram_select it's in net/core/datagram.o
This is a patch for net/core/Makefile to link only those files in
net/core/core.o (not being a kernel guru, I really don't know if
it's ok, but at least it compiles and has worked a couple of days)

After that I had some more problems... I couldn't compile anything
with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS (I don't like to recompile modules every time,
having a 386Dx/25 with only 4Mb... BTW it would be nice to select
which modules to compile). Some warnings in versions.mk, and then
some errors in kernel/ksyms.c.
I didn't understand that, so I turned off CONFIG_MODVERSIONS...
Everything compiled apparently rigth, but when I tried to insmod, I
found yet another _bad_user_access_length problem, with some modules...
Of course with gcc 2.5.8. for example, in floppy.c, I found the
problem in calls to memcpy_fromfs from the COPYIN macro.
I upgraded to 2.6.3 from slackware 2.3 and that solved the problem...
(BTW where can I found 2.7.0 a.out binaries to compile in a.out?
i.e. a quick replace as it was 2.6.3 from slackware. I think I saw
some 2.7.0 a.out in sunsite incoming, but I can't locate it now).
BUT... I have undefined symbols in some modules, namely:
binfmt_elf dump_fpu
minix strnlen
sysv strnlen
Altough I don't need those modules for now... I think those symbols
should be added to kernel/ksyms.c, but I don't want to mess with that...
Also, the Makefiles have some problems with modules in the fs
directory... the "Hack for fs subdirectories" in Rules.make works
iff I have defined CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF (can't chdir to binfmt_elf.o ;-)
Here's a patch that solves this:

Last one... Does sound work as a module?? I've compiled it (as
module of course, had to compile and run sound/configure, and patch
drivers/Makefile) but when I try to insmod, It says "Initialization
of sound failed", and I get this in /var/adm/messages:
Aug 22 01:08:55 numenor kernel: sound: made modular by Peter Trattler (peter@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at)
Aug 22 01:08:55 numenor kernel: Couldn't get a free page.....
(sometimes only the first line...)
I tried compiling with only 4096 bytes of DMA, but no way...
