Ensure that you have the appropriate kernel source (2.4.17) unpacked
and configured in /usr/src/linux. In my case I had all these loadable
module parameters enabled:

 [*] Enable loadable module support
 [*] Set version information on all symbols for modules
 [*] Kernel module loader  

Then I built the modules with the following lines:

gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ \
 -I/usr/include -I/usr/src/linux/include \
 -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h  \
 -DKBUILD_BASENAME=tulip -o tulip.o -O6 -c tulip.c
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ \
 -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h  \
 -I/usr/src/linux/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=pci-scan -o pci-scan.o -O6 -c
pci-scan.c


Hope that helps a bit,
