genksyms- compile problem with kernel versions

I get the following messages when I type 'make dep'. This only happens
when I specify the option of versions for modules in the 'make config' for
the kernel. I went into my modules-2.0.0 directory and remade and
installed genksyms. That did not work. Maybe I need a
newer version of modules. I thought that I had the
latest version.
I am using kernel 2.1.29.
