Ok, I tried that, and I tried Andrew Morton's patch as well. Both patches
fix the module case, but not the in-kernel case. With Linus' patch, the
in-kernel case fails with the error message in my previous mail. With
Andrew's patch, it fails like this:

ld -m elf_i386  -r -o netfilter.o ipchains.o ip_nf_compat.o
ld: cannot open ip_nf_compat.o: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [netfilter.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/barryn/lsoft/kernels/buildspace/linux-2.4.0test13pre2bkn-alt-ath/net/ipv4/netfilter'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/barryn/lsoft/kernels/buildspace/linux-2.4.0test13pre2bkn-alt-ath/net/ipv4/netfilter'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_ipv4/netfilter] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/barryn/lsoft/kernels/buildspace/linux-2.4.0test13pre2bkn-alt-ath/net'
make: *** [_dir_net] Error 2

The only difference in my .config, between the working module case and the
failing in-kernel case, is whether CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPCHAINS is set to
y or m. I included one of the .configs (although I forget which one) in my
previous email.
