That is almost always caused by bad output from binutils. It could be
a modutils bug but I doubt it, every previous occurrence has been a
binutils problem. Send me (not the list) the output from
readelf -es /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre5/kernel/drivers/sound/trident.o

Before sending the output, try rebuilding the kernel from scratch. It
is unlikely to help but worth a try.
