The declaration:
extern void sis_malloc(struct sis_memreq *req);
was translated by cpp in:
sis_malloc_Ra3329ed5

The kernel source was donwnloaded and the file
linux*/configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config was copied to
linux*/.config.
after issuing make dep and make dep, some files was compiled correctly
and finnally the reported error was generated. Trying to compile again
produced the same errors.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2002-10-29 08:41:34 EST

This looks like missing make mrproper.

Comment 2 Jean-Jacques Sarton 2002-10-29 08:50:59 EST

make mrproper was called.
The process of building was done more times. unpacking the rpm file,
calling make  mrproper, copying the config file, calling make dep and then
make modules.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
