I tried changing some netfilter config stuff around (so that I could
choose to not include conntrack when I don't need it), to find that
compilation borked with an allowed config:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /var/kernel/servers/web/linux.alfie/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o \

.config attached.

This may be the correct fix:

(If not, a flamewar will surely ensue which will result in the correct
 fix being posted. :) )
