Sound Foopa

I don't know if this has come up before or not but the following config
will
result in a non-working sound system. I have no clue how to fix it though.

CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y

The key here is KMOD, with that on and soundcore compiled as a module,
upon boot the following messages get spewed to console.

Linux version 2.2.12 (root@wacko.gxsnmp.org) (gcc driver version 2.95.1
19990816 (release) executing gcc version 2.7.2.3) #9 Mon Sep 20 18:23:58

(note! it is compiled with 2.7.2.3 even though its 2.95.1 as the compiler
driver)

Now if the CONFIG_KMOD=n things work ok, just no autoloading of modules.

Compiling sound in works also. Don't know if this is a bug so much as a
strange interaction in the config options.

Anyway I'm open to suggestions.
