Modutils 2.4.24 will be out in the next few days.  The only change
planned for 2.4.24 is to complain about modules using the default
behaviour of "export all symbols" on architectures that use function
descriptors.  Such architectures must explicitly export symbols,
otherwise gcc does not generate function descriptors and inter-module
references break spectacularly.
