The ftape support is broken (at least for 2.03, which is the last version
AFAIK): ftape_big_buffer & associated code appears to be removed
without any replacement.

Try enabling QIC-117 support; you'll see that the build fails when
linking the kernel image together, probably because kernel/ksyms.c
still refers to ftape_big_buffer #ifdef CONFIG_FTAPE.
