Unless someone fixes it The Right Way, my patch seems like the best we can do. People who complain "you must be able to build without hdlc" should step up and make it so. Currently, it is not so.

I builds just fine with and without HDLC.

The only problem is defining synclink as built in
while defining hdlc as a module.

This patch *breaks* the driver.

My previous attempts (and those of others who suggested
different fixes) at preventing this kernel
misconfiguration were all rejected. I tried
repeatedly over many weeks.

I think purposefully breaking a driver while rejecting
fixes to the real problem is a bad idea.
