I need to compile some older linux kernel, and with 2.6.17 and 2.6.19.7 I had
the following issue. I found it was known two years ago and here is the patch.
Please fix the older kernel releases, at least in svn, maybe.

  HOSTCC  scripts/mod/sumversion.o
scripts/mod/sumversion.c: In function 'get_src_version':
scripts/mod/sumversion.c:384: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this
function)
scripts/mod/sumversion.c:384: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
only once
scripts/mod/sumversion.c:384: error: for each function it appears in.)
scripts/mod/sumversion.c:384: warning: unused variable 'filelist'
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/sumversion.o] Error 1
