	You need NLS to use VFAT/FAT32 support.  From the error messages it seems
you are trying to compile FAT support as a module (fat.o) but not NLS
(nls.o) as well.  With my custom kernel, in menuconfig-filesystems I have
the following selected as modules (all selected = M):

	Native Language Support (Unicode, codepages)
	...
	DOS FAT fs support
	MSDOS fs support
	...
	VFAT (Windows 95) fs support
	Codepage 437
	...
	NLS ISO 8859-1

If you're not in US, then the last two would be different.
