I've tried compiling the latest stuff on the CVS trunk, but cannot get
JFFS2 to work. I've compiled it as a module, but when I try to load it I
get a whole load of messages about missing zlib_ symbols:

e.g.
/lib/modules/2.4.17-rmk5/kernel/fs/jffs2/jffs2.o: unresolved symbol
zlib_inflate

I'm guessing that the zlib code has been moved recently so it can be
shared across several modules in the kernel. I am using 2.4.17; what is
the best thing for me to do?
