I builds just fine with and without HDLC.

The only problem is defining synclink as built in
while defining hdlc as a module.

This patch *breaks* the driver.

My previous attempts (and those of others who suggested
different fixes) at preventing this kernel
misconfiguration were all rejected. I tried
repeatedly over many weeks.

I think purposefully breaking a driver while rejecting
fixes to the real problem is a bad idea.
