Amen! I had a problem compiling ppp-2.2.0a; ccp.c failed with several
undefined labels. The problem was caused by using a /usr/src/linux
tree that was filled with a mix of creation dates, confusing ppp's
"make kernel" which updates, among other things, a set of ppp .h
files. Removing the tree and patching up (from 1.3.30 in this case)
to 1.3.32 brought the dates back into line and everything installed
and compiled as it should.
