yep there are 2 errors, each one has a simple reason.


the first is, as other posts to this group/subject mention,
that the makefile in net/inet doesnt have rarp.o as a componet of
net.o
solution add rarp.o to the line OBJS =  sock.o utils.o route.o ....
to ensure you found the right Makefile, put rarp.o right next to arp.o


second, if you haven't  configured  Rarp into the kernel,
then CONFIG_INET_RARP is undefined. 
fs/proc/net.c should not use _rarp_get_info if
CONFIG_INET_RARP is undefined (and should if it is )
change the file to include the #ifdef #endif's as below.

#ifdef CONFIG_INET_RARP
extern int rarp_get_info  ....
#endif

------

#ifdef CONFIG_INET_RARP
case 135:
	length= rarp_get_info ...
	break;
#endif

ur, i doubt it. as long as your gcc doesnt get too far behind ..
but the gcc compiler updates bring out new library linking
capabilites,  and the kernel is staticly linked of course,
so unless there's a change in the use of standard c features ..

no. only if you want to; you dont need to as far as I know .
