I recently compiled the 1.3.8 modules, I dont's use aztcd.o, but other modules broke. The error message was similar, an undefined symbol, but it was a
different symbol, _strlen, or something like that. I didn't have time to
investigate before 1.3.9 came out, I also checked out the modules for this
and it seems headed for a similar problem, but I'm more interested in a
working system at the moment than trying to go bug-hunting, so I've just
compiled what I want into the kernel.
In fact, I don't think the modules even fully compiled. The SCSI modules fell
over.
