By the way, if I add -I/usr/src/linux/include to the compile line, it successfully compiles, however, i am back to the start:
lanthanum-ini src-1.0.1 # insmod sch_xcp
Using /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o
/lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: unresolved symbol unregister_qdisc
