I, too had the same problem.. same line with error and all.. 

My system is woody, using gcc-2.95...

Like the rest of you , I, also used menuconfig...  But mine wouldn't 
compile.. I got this error:

ah6.c: In function 'ah6_err':

This was with a package created from the stock kernel.org source patched 
with kernel-source-2.4.21*diff.

I then got the *2.4.21-1.orig file, patched it with the diff... same error 
with xconfig, but it didn't seem to get as far as the first..  
The first errors:

ipcomp6.c: In function `ipcomp6_input':
ipcomp6.c:74: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
ipcomp6.c:75: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
ipcomp6.c:78: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
ipcomp6.c:78: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
ipcomp6.c:78: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
ipcomp6.c:92: sizeof applied to an incomplete type

I'm almost tempted to compile a stock unpatched kernel and forget the 
debian patches...
