Thanks for your report, the information you included was sufficient.

I already sent a patch for this for 2.5 but I didn't know the problem
also exists in 2.4. The following patch fixes it:

Zwane changed this driver to use the MII support library but he
accidentially forgot that this requires mii.o.

Same config, but gcc 3.2.1 :

... and this repeats all over `make dep`... and when I'm making bzImage:

It is the same with gcc-2.95.4 (from Debian package), btw ... I tried
rml patch (for rc4), and it also shows the same behavior....
