make moduels failed on linux-2.4.21-15.EL

[Yasushi Okubo]

I just applied patches to our WS3.0 machines through up2date and got 
kernel-source too.  However, it failed to compile kernel. 
The following is the steps I took.  Please advise me how to get rid of 
errors.

1. I opened make menuconfig/xconfig
2. Turn on IEEE1394 option
3. save & exit
4. make dep  <-- it looked okay
5. make modules failed with many "implicit declaration of function" errors

So, after make clean, I turned off IEEE1394 option and saved it, but  it 
looks like it still produced the same errors with make modules.  It 
looks like kenern-source for linux-2.4.21-15.EL never be  able to be 
compiled due to anomalities in many libraries.

Here is the example of output:
