I had a similar problem simply compiling the kernel from the latest
redhat distro for ia64.  The problem was a couple of missing underscores
in include/linux/version.h on _module_up -> __module_up and _module_smp ->
__module_smp.

My "revised" version is as follows (sorry, I toasted the orig or I'd
send diffs, although they'd probably be larger.  ;-):

#include <linux/rhconfig.h>
#if defined(__module_up)
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.0-0.8"
#endif
#if defined(__module_smp)
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.0-0.8smp"
#endif
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132096
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
