2.4.4 is very old. You really should consider upgrading to a vaguely
recent kernel which isn't full of known holes.

You've copied files in manually rather than using the 'patchin' script
from the patches/ directory. Which means you've got the 'Makefile' files
instead of the 'Makefile.common' files which you should have copied and
renamed to 'Makefile' in each subdirectory.

If you really do stay with 2.4.4 you'll probably need some surgery on
linux/mtd/compatmac.h to make it support kernels that ancient again.
