I've had the exact same problems -- with the exact same software
versions, both for linux and ppp.
I solved those problems and intended to publish my patch, only
my sucessfully compiled sources act strange and I have had too
little time to trace that down. I will give you an excerpt of
the patches I've done, that should be sufficient for your
compile to go through:

That should do it. I'll get back when I have a more complete
patch, I was trying to port back some updates made in the
ppp code in the linux kernel tree, that has evolved separate
from the ppp tree, but not very successfully -- the code
kind of works, but I have problems sending chunks of data
larger than one kilobyte at a time or so.... Something
timeouts. I have been too occupied at work so I haven't
had time to track this down. Am using CSLIP at the
moment, have for the last few years, but thought I just
_had_ to start using ppp. ;-)

The problem is that ppp.c in linux-2.0.35 has a later
"Fileversion" than the ppp.c in the ppp-2.3.5, because
inconsequential updates has been done to it. But we need the
version in ppp-2.3.5, which we won't get. This is solved just
by changing the "Fileversion" in ppp-2.3.5 ppp.c. One more
thing is wrong with ppp-2.3.5 ppp.c, see my patch.
Good Luck, and stay in touch -- I will mail you my finished
patch when I get it working right, and I'd appreciate to hear
your comments on how the above patch works out for you!
