psaux as a module and misc.c

I encounter an error when I build my kernel. I configure psaux as a module
and enable C&T support. The first pass of a "make zImage" errors because
misc.c references psaux_init and expects psaux.o it to be built and
linked (?) in with psaux.o. But, since psaux is configured as module, it is
not built until I do a "make modules".

So why is misc.c expecting psaux_init?
Seems like the
"#ifndef MODULE"
on line number 186 (of misc.c) would keep psaux_init from being referenced
(I compile most everything as modules) ?

Since I know I want psaux as a module, I commented out lines 198, 199 & 200
as a temporary fix in my source.

Any comments about how to fix this problem? Or am I the only one with
this problem?

Below is the last few lines of my "make zImage".
