Yes. This error is already fixed in 2.4.3-ac4, as I already wrote. Use newer
kernel or compile IPX as module. I believe that it is fixed in 2.4.4-pre2 
too. Patch I sent fixed compilation with disabled CONFIG_SYSCTL. As
I use zerocopy patches from Alan tree, I cannot create tested patch
for Linus tree (and I try to avoid creation of untested patches)...

Petr, first of all I save text of patch you sent me to file
"ipx-makefile.patch" in /usr/src and try to patch.
Result:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@sh src]# patch -p0 < ipx-makefile.patch
patching file linux/net/ipx/Makefile
patch: **** malformed patch at line 6: export-objs = af_ipx.o af_spx.o
        
[root@sh src]#   
--------------------------------------------

So I  try to patched linux/net/ipx/Makefile manually with you text.
Resulting Makefile:

_______________________________________________________
#
# Makefile for the Linux IPX layer.
#
# Note! Dependencies are done automagically by 'make dep', which also
# removes any old dependencies. DON'T put your own dependencies here
# unless it's something special (ie not a .c file).
#
# Note 2! The CFLAGS definition is now in the main makefile...

# We only get in/to here if CONFIG_IPX = 'y' or 'm'

O_TARGET := ipx.o

export-objs = af_ipx.o af_spx.o

obj-y	:= af_ipx.o sysctl_net_ipx.o

ifeq ($(CONFIG_IPX),m)
  obj-m += $(O_TARGET)
endif

obj-$(CONFIG_SPX) += af_spx.o

include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make

tar:
		tar -cvf /dev/f1 .
________________________________
Then try to compile
Result - the same error.
