I tried to build 2.1.18 with ENABLE_NODVERSIONS set to y. The system
failed as

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -DMODVERSIONS
-DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c ksyms.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:15,
from ksyms.c:12:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h:7: linux/modules/*.ver: No
such file or directory
make[2]: *** [ksyms.o] Error 1

I could not find the .ver files at all. On the 2.1.17 there is

dfpc-linux>find ../linux-2.1.17/* -iname '*.ver' -print
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/ksyms.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/ide.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/serial.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/apm_bios.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/misc.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/ppp.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/slhc.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/scsi_syms.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/fatfs_syms.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/msdosfs_syms.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/namei.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/procfs_syms.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/netsyms.ver
../linux-2.1.17/include/linux/modules/dmsdos_std.ver
