I found my own problem: I didn't fall back to booting a pre 2.1.12
kernel where the scripting worked properly.

Then I was able to make aic7xxx_seq.h successfully.

Darn! I'm an adult, but I could have used a 'little warning' in the
patch info that I should/needed to fall back to an earlier kernel to be
able to build a kernel at all!
