sysklogd 1.3 patchlevel 3 seems to be broken with respect to the new way of
doing modules. (This version is not available on sunsite; however, it is used
with Red Hat 4.1. The source RPM converted to tar format is available at
http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~jgotts/sysklogd-1.3-15.tar.gz.) The
attached diff eliminates compilation errors, but klogd still spits out the
following messages, indicating (to me) that it can't grok the new module
format:

Error seeking /dev/kmem
Error adding kernel module table entry
