That didn't do it for me, so I turned off CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to build the
kernel. Then depmod (from modules-2.1.13) reported "unresolved symbols" in
all my modules except ipv6.o and scsi_syms.o. Also, there were a few
warnings on compilation:

inode.c:446: warning: unused variable `status'
vc_screen.c:101: warning: `org' might be used uninitialized in this function
vc_screen.c:162: warning: `org' might be used uninitialized in this function
ppp.c:3355: warning: `ppp_register_compressor' defined but not used
ppp.c:3382: warning: `ppp_unregister_compressor' defined but not used
socket.c:1196: warning: `len' might be used uninitialized in this function
