Can't load yaffs.o (unresolved symbol __get_mtd_device)

Hi all,

I'm using recent YAFFS sources downloaded via CVS on Aug, 1st with the 
kernel linuxppc_devel_2.4.21-pre5.
I succesfully built the yaffs module but I can't load it with the insmod 
command.

Here what I get when trying to load:

bash-2.05# /sbin/insmod -v yaffs.o
Using yaffs.o
Symbol version prefix ''
yaffs.o: unresolved symbol __get_mtd_device
bash-2.05#

In the kernel's symbol list (System.map) I see the get_mtd_device symbol.
Why does the dynamic linker add two underscores '__'?
How to solve the problem?

Thanx in advance and best regards.

PS: I posted the message to the YAFFS's ml too, but unfortunately I got no 
answers :-(
