COMPILE BUG: SiS DRM Support

Hi,

I have been trying to compile SiS DRM support
with the 2.4.18 kernel (have tried both module
and in the kernel) but to no avail. When built
as a module it compiles but when the module gets
loaded I get unresolved symbols.

When trying to compile the support directly into
the kernel I get the following compilation errors:

<cut>

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

</cut>

sis_free appears to be in linux/drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c
with its prototype in linux/drivers/video/sis/sis_main.h

linux/drivers/video/sis/sis_mm.c seems to be where the sis_fb_alloc
and sis_fb_free function calls are made.

Is there any obvious reasons why this isn't compiling?

Thanks in advance
