kernel compiling fails on sounddriver

[Kurdt <pauwel.demeyer@pandora.be>]

Hi

My debian woody is now working a few weeks.  Some things don't work yet. 
Like my sound. Most describings say to compile my kernel with the new 
soundmodule enabled.  I downloaded the latest stable kernel on kernel.org
So far, I untar in /usr/src/linux, do a make menuconfig (or make 
xconfig), enable the things that seem to be necessary to me.
Thus, I think I need the VIA 82C686 Audio Codec, because that is the 
same name as on my windows (I have the K7 motherboard, with VIA sound on 
board) .
I do make dep, make clean.
make seems to work.  After ten minutes it halts:

...
   /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/lib/lib.a 
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
   --end-group \
   -o vmlinux
drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o(.data+0xb4): undefined reference to `local 
symbols in discarded section .text.exit'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1


(last lines of the output)

So, I understand, something went wrong, but what?

tnx, Kurdt
