drivers/net/wan/8253x/Makefile contains these lines
8253xcfg: 8253xcfg.c
$(CC) -o 8253xcfg $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -U__KERNEL__ 8253xcfg.c
8253xmac: 8253xmac.c
$(CC) -o 8253xmac $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -U__KERNEL__ 8253xmac.c
8253xspeed: 8253xspeed.c
$(CC) -o 8253xspeed $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -U__KERNEL__ 8253xspeed.c
8253xpeer: 8253xpeer.c
$(CC) -o 8253xpeer $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -U__KERNEL__ 8253xpeer.c
eprom9050: eprom9050.c
$(CC) -o eprom9050 $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -U__KERNEL__ eprom9050.c
All of those .c files are user space utilities, they do not fit the
kernel build system and do not belong in the kernel. Please move these
files to a separate user space package and delete from 2.4.19-pre*.

User space programs do not belong in the kernel. They belong in a user
space package, like all the other device tuning programs. The kernel
documentation for your driver points to the user space package.
