You need a kernel with at least version number 2.0.34. If you don't have
one, get an update from http://www.kernel.org. I guess that the help
options in the configure script will tell you what to activate the FAT32
support (I wouldn't know for sure, because I have not bothered to update
my kernel beyond ver. 2.0.33, since I don't have any FAT32 partitions to
mount).
