Actually, I don't have a fix for this as you are having a different 
problem than I thought. It could be fixed by moving all the SSI specific 
definitions into an SSI specific Makefile.ssi and including it if it 
exists or based upon CONFIG_SSI, but CONFIG_IP_VS is currently the only 
option that should give us any trouble and this could be fixed with an 
if statement in the Makefile. Feel free to fix it either way, since you 
care about it.
