[PLUG] error msg compiling custom kernel

[Rupert Heesom <raheesom@navpoint.com>]

I'm trying to convert my 2.2.17-14 kernel into a modularized version of
it.

When compiling the source, (make zImage), the messages on the console
gets to a point where several lines mention errors, then the whole
process quits.

How do I figure out whether these errors have terminated the compile
process or not?   One method is to see if the kernel image has been
created.....but where is it supposed to be located?
I tried looking in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot....but nothing looks
right there.    in the directory above there are 2 files...vmlinux.lds,
vmlinux.lds.S, but I assume these are not what I'm looking for.

The end of the "make bzImage" status messages that I got (this time) are
: -

ip_masq.c:578: `ip_masq_hash' undeclared here (not in a function)
ip_masq.c:578: initializer element for `__ksymtab_ip_masq_hash.value' is
not constant
ip_masq.c:579: `ip_masq_unhash' undeclared here (not in a function)
ip_masq.c:579: initializer element for `__ksymtab_ip_masq_unhash.value'
is not constant
make[3]: *** [ip_masq.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/net/ipv4'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/net/ipv4'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_ipv4] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/net'
make: *** [_dir_net] Error 2

It looks to me like it's complaining about IP masquerading source, since
I enabled the IP masquerading (in make xconfig) ...... I want to install
IP chains later to network VMware VMs.

I'm doing to try to disable IP masquerading and see what happens.

Can someone comment on what could be wrong in the status / error
messages above?
