Yes. I finally found a way to get it to compile. Compiling without TT
mode and WITHOUT static build it still fails with the same problem
(__bb_init_func problem I already reported). But compiling without TT
but WITH static build the __bb_init_func problem goes away but instead I
get a __gcov_init missing symbol in my modules.

Note I have gcc-3.3.4-11 (SuSE 9.2) and it defines __gcov_init. So I
added this as an export symbol and lo and behold the kernel and modules
compiled and I am now up an running with UML and NTFS as a module. (-:

Here is the patch that I used to fix this:
