Maybe that's what happened to me. I agree with you, if someone took
all the symbols out of a file, its .ver file would not get removed.
Yet another "stale target when source gets removed" bug.

drivers/sound/Config.in line 152 is broken. It has a dep_tristate for
CONFIG_AEDSP16 with not enough arguments. Add a $CONFIG_SOUND to the
end:

< dep_tristate 'Gallant Audio Cards (SC-6000 and SC-6600 based) CONFIG_AEDSP16
> dep_tristate 'Gallant Audio Cards (SC-6000 and SC-6600 based) CONFIG_AEDSP16 $CONFIG_SOUND

I haven't had time to write this up as a formal patch.
