Interesting ...  well if someone has trouble building on 2.4, at least
they can look at this mailing list archive to see how to resolve the
missing symbol.

Obviously when it's built into the kernel it's not a problem, but I'm
guessing most folks build as a module for easy tinkering.

Thanks for the info.
