I guess this is a bit unclear. Patching the kernel wasn't the problem.
Building a pristine unpacked linux-2.1.115.tar.gz was, after unpacking I
needed to mkdir two modules directories, as well as copy autoconf.h into
the include directory.
It's working perfectly (AFAICS) now.
But either the linux-2.1.115.tar.gz at ftp.funet.fi is slightly broken,
or I somehow managed to screw up a simple tar command (or the subsequent
steps - copying in the old .config, and make dep clean zlilo modules\
modules_install, after cleansing the makefile of SMP and /boot stuff.)
So, as I said, it's not a problem for me, I'm just a bit puzzled that it
happened.
