Hmm, I don't think this is it--I'm seeing the same thing, and I have
tried 'make mrproper'.  All symbols are getting versionated except
certain calls to do_softirq() in, e.g., sunrpc.o and the iptables
modules.

I looked into this, and I believe the problem is due to 2.4.6-pre2's
change to the i386 local_bh_enable() macro--the C version has been
replaced with an assembly language version that does "call
do_doftirq;".  Perhaps this function call from the assembly language
version does not get versionated?
