I never got to the bottom of this one either. If you search the archive for
subject 'Error compiling pcmcia modules on laptop' around jan 17th you'll
find a posting from me with the same problem (except 2.4.17 kernel). I tried
lots of different combinations, and always ended up with the error you've had.
Here's one reply I got that might work for you:
