The makefile in drivers/net goes like this:

obj-$(CONFIG_SLIP) += slip.o
ifeq ($(CONFIG_SLIP),y)
  obj-$(CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED) += slhc.o
else
  ifeq ($(CONFIG_SLIP),m)
    obj-$(CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED) += slhc.o
  endif
endif

CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED is a `bool' value.  The way the makefile is written, 
selecting compression will always build slhc.o into the kernel, even if SLIP 
is a module.  This doesn't seem like the way it ought to work.
