This message shows, that you have in kernel ppp 2.3.3 part, not 2.3.5
Probably "make kernel" don't copied ppp.c from pppd 2.3.5 sources to
kernel sources three, because it has earlyer fileversion than kernel
sources one, and you compiled and installed older module.
Take look to
http://www.tartu.customs.ee/linux.shtml
there are described some pppd compile problems and solutions.

I repeat, you have first to match ppp versions in pppd daemon and
kernel part. Also I suggest you to compile ppp directly to kernel,
not as module and you will have less problems.
