    Link them in, or compile them in - what else do you expect anyone to
    say?

    You are compiling for 2.4? Please provide appropriate context.

    Anyway, proc_register is NOT a symbol in my 2.4 kernel (2.4.22). So
    *I* would say that if you have compiled a module that references it,
    perhaps you have either written or compiled it wrong.

      % grep proc_register /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.22-xfs/fs/proc/*.c
      /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.22-xfs/fs/proc/generic.c:static int proc_register(struct proc_dir_entry * dir, struct proc_dir_entry * dp)

    so it's declared static in my kernel source, which measn that you have
    written your code wrong. It shouldn't call that symbol.

    proc_register is used in proc_symlink and proc_mknod, etc. I would
    imagine you are not using the advertised interface, but I know that
    you looking in your codebase would tell you. Please fix your code.

    Peter
