This is actually a problem with modprobe.c (line 21, though): a semicolon is missing
after 'va_end(list)'.  You may also have trouble with the new for-variable scoping
conventions in gcc-2.7.0(?).  Any variable declared like 'for(int i=...' is not
visible outside the for loop (due to a change in the C++ standard).  If this gives
you trouble, move the 'int i' outside the for loop and replace it with the usual
'for(i=...'.

Also, you may want to try
   
   ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/sbin/modules-1.3.57.tar.gz
   
or

   ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/modules-1.3.57.tar.gz (may have moved)

But I'm uncertain about the kernel requirements for using this package.

Hope this helps,
