Problems with kernel compiling - unresolved _binary_pca200e_bin_start

[Vilius Benetis <vilius@siauliai.lt>]

Hello all,
  I've just tried to compile pca200e-0.4 with different kernels - 2.1, 
2.2, 2.3 and different atm(0.55, 0.61) and always fail - at least in 
linking stage :
ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext

What to do?

  I doubt if it's kernel. Maybe I need some special libraries?

I'm using slackware 4.0 distribution.

  The same question was arised in spring, 1998, but I failed to find any 
answer in archives.

  please write back who has got any idea,
