I got a series of errors from genksyms while in net/802,
compiling "p8022.c", "p8022tr.c", and "psnap.c". The error
was reporting a problem with symbol "[register_8022_client]"
and "[register_snap_client]" (and others). The reported error
was "unknown struct", and struct name was "sock".

I noticed this and similar error occurring once in drivers/scsi,
fs/fat, net, net/core too.

Here's the output (I think this is all of them), associated with
the directory they occurred in:

drivers/scsi:

I just posted my .config in another 1.3.95 error I reported. If you need
it again, let me know.
