From the CVS the files vif_input.c, vif_output.c, and vif_subr.c will
pass through the compiler and an object file will be produced.
However, the conditional at the top:

#ifdef CONFIG_NETNICE

will prevent any of the contained functions from being compiled.  So
the object file produced is really not of any use because it contains
no executable code.  The definition of CONFIG_NETNICE is obtained by
including linux/config.h and the #ifdef CONFIG_NETNICE must occur
_after_ linux/config.h has been included.  When this is done and the
functions in the files actually pass through the compiler the errors
occur.

As for socket.c some of the variables passed into the functions within
the sections delimited by CONFIG_NETNICE use variables that are not
found anywhere in the file.

Also, the Kconfig (kernel configuration) setup is not complete and I
needed to add this so I could compile.

If this worked before I imagine that there is a later version missing
from your CVS.
