When I tried to compile ppp v2.3.5 with a 2.0.35 kernel, I got errors
also. (I don't recall if they are the same as you are getting.)
It turned out, the part of the ppp install that puts the ppp source in
the kernel source tree checks a version stamp in the files before
copying them. The 2.0.35 kernel comes with a couple of files which
are newer (and incompatible with) the files in ppp 2.3.5.
At this point I gave up. I did not need it bad enough to continue.
