A line was added to the Makefile of 2.1.81-pre1 to remove zero-length
files. Zero-length *.ver files are included by some files; my compile
fails in kernel/signal.c with:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
[...more compile options...]
signal.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:19,
from signal.c:9:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h:4:
linux/modules/adlib_card.ver: No such file or directory
[etc, etc: af_ax25.ver, af_netlink.ver, ...]

The following patch deletes the offending Makefile line and fixes the bug.
Note that this shows up only if you do 'make dep; make clean' as 'make
config' recommends; if you don't 'make clean' after 'make dep' then your
zero-length version files won't be deleted.
