i suppose you did not do anything wrong. it looks like some relations in
your .config could not be resolved completely by the scripts. at least,
my builds of 2.4.22 did not show these errors. :)

yes, usually it poses no problem if some modules unnecessary for your setup
are dysfunctional. but do not expect the crypto-system to work.

looks like that. you can uncheck that option and the unresolved symbols
should disappear after a rebuild.
