Using "kernel-source-2.4.18-22mdk.i586.rpm" from 
"MandrakeLinux-9.0beta2-CD3.i586.iso", during the sequence 

make clean
make depend
make modules

the compiles fail for a dozen or so files, including

drivers/isdn/act2000/capi.c
drivers/isdn/act2000/act2000.h
drivers/isdn/act2000/module.c
drivers/input/mousedev.c
drivers/ieee1394/ieee1394_transactions.c
drivers/char/joystick/sidewinder.c
drivers/char/joystick/tmdc.c
drivers/char/ftape/zftape/zftape-buffers.c
drivers/char/ftape/zftape/zftape-vtbl.c
drivers/char/ftape/zftape/zftape-write.c
drivers/char/ftape/zftape/zftape-read.c
drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-buffer.c
drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-io.c
drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-ecc.c
drivers/char/ftape/compressor/zftape-compress.c
drivers/char/joystick/gf2k.c
drivers/char/joystick/adi.c

The problem has to do with module versions.  For these files, the macro
for "_ver_str" doesn't get defined, because the file 'rhconfig.h' isn't 
included prior to including 'sched.h' or 'delay.h'.  

Shifting around the include files in each of the driver files would
work (usually, they include 'linux/module.h', or some other file that includes
'linux/version.h', which then pulls in 'rhconfig.h'.  

But it's also the case that including "linux/version.h" before the 
external definitions of 'loops_per_jiffy' or 'event' in delay.h or sched.h
works too.  Changing delay.h and sched.h allows a clean compile.
