Fixed by replacement of modutils library.

These do not work for me:

 modutils-devel-2.4.14-3.i386.rpm
 modutils-devel-2.4.18-3.7x.i386.rpm

Beoboot lanl.1.3 release notes:

Not sure which version this was - I think RH7.3 contains
modutils-devel-2.4.14-3 and RH7.3 updates contain
modutils-2.4.18-3.7x.i386.rpm but no update for modutils-devel-.

I fixed the problem by using modutils-2.4.21.tar.gz with patch
extracted from modutils-2.4.18-3.7x.src.rpm (this patch adds
compilation of libraries) - details below.

Best Regards
