debian kernel 2.4.4 fails to compile



I hope there hasn't already been a thread about this...

I apt-get'd the kernel source from debian (apt-get install 2.4) and it
downloaded all these files. I go into the kernel-source-2.4.4 and
compile away happily, until I get this error:

ppc_ksyms.c:335: `down_read_failed' undeclared here (not in a function)
ppc_ksyms.c:335: initializer element is not constant
ppc_ksyms.c:335: (near initialization for
`__ksymtab_down_read_failed.value')
ppc_ksyms.c:336: `down_write_failed' undeclared here (not in a function)

ppc_ksyms.c:336: initializer element is not constant
ppc_ksyms.c:336: (near initialization for
`__ksymtab_down_write_failed.value')
make[1]: *** [ppc_ksyms.o] Error 1
make: *** [_dir_arch/ppc/kernel] Error 2

Am I missing something? I'm running woody, which, AFAICT, is supposed to
be testing...I would think it would work. OTOH, perhaps I'm a guinea
pig! :-)
