    Hi all,

    I'm a bit confused about how CONFIG_MODVERSIONS and MODVERSIONS is
    related. Look at this at the beginning of include/linux/module.h:

    #ifdef __GENKSYMS__
    # define _set_ver(sym) sym
    # undef MODVERSIONS
    # define MODVERSIONS
    #else /* ! __GENKSYMS__ */
    # if !defined(MODVERSIONS) && defined(EXPORT_SYMTAB)
    # define _set_ver(sym) sym
    # include <linux/modversions.h>
    # endif
    #endif /* __GENKSYMS__ */

    I'm running 2.2.15 and don't have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, so then I also
    don't have the file include/linux/modversions.h. If CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
    and MODVERSIONS is related in any way, why is
    include/linux/modversions.h included when MODVERSIONS is _not_ defined?

    My real problem is that I can't get pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 to compile (without
    intervention) because of this, since I don't have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
    (and then not include/linux/modversions.h) but the pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 code
    defines EXPORT_SYMTAB.

    If anyone could shed any light on this matter for me, I would be very
    grateful!

    Cheers,
    Peter
