Hi,
I noticed 2.1.119 kernel linking problems with CONFIG_INET not set:
******************************************************************

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.1.117/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \

loopback.o(.text.init+0x5b): undefined reference to `eth_rebuild_header'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
*********************************************************************

It's very strange as:

[root@kufel linux]# nm net/network.a|grep eth_header
00000000 T eth_header
000002f0 T eth_header_cache
00000380 T eth_header_cache_update
000002d0 T eth_header_parse

Also replacing "net/network.a" in Makefile directly by
"net/socket.o net/protocols.o net/core/core.o net/ethernet/ethernet.o \
net/sched/sched.o net/802/802.o net/unix/unix.o"
i.e. all object files it should include, causes that errors disappear.

Can anybody explain that ?
