Have you built the entire kernel already and then you are trying to build
only drivers/pci/hotplug?

If I build *only* drivers/pci/hotplug, I do get undefined symbols:

WARNING: modpost: "strcmp" [drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.ko] undefined!
WARNING: modpost: "kfree" [drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.ko] undefined!

but that's understandable since the object files that would contain those symbols
have not been built yet.
