A couple of rules are missing, which prevent genksyms from building.
(make 3.74). The following patch fixes this:

As for whether it works, I applied the linux-2.1.19 patch to a 2.1.20
kernel, and now get errors when linking the kernel (on a i386 - yes,
I did change the 'ARCH=alpha' in the patch):
kernel/kernel.o: In function `init_modules':
kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x4631): undefined reference to `__stop___ksymtab'
kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x4636): undefined reference to `__start___ksymtab'
kernel/kernel.o(.data+0x3614): undefined reference to `__start___ksymtab'
Don't really know how to fix this one.
