The compile error is gone, *but* ... :-)
With 2.5.6-pre2 you get nfsd support, wether you want it or
not. Consider this:

#undef CONFIG_NFSD
#undef CONFIG_NFSD_MODULE
#define CONFIG_MODULES

Now, this part is compiled into the kernel, although you haven't
requested it:

#if defined(CONFIG_MODULES)
	lock_kernel();

	if (nfsd_linkage ||
	    (request_module ("nfsd") == 0 && nfsd_linkage)) {
		__MOD_INC_USE_COUNT(nfsd_linkage->owner);
		unlock_kernel();
		ret = nfsd_linkage->do_nfsservctl(cmd, argp, resp);
		__MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT(nfsd_linkage->owner);
	} else
		unlock_kernel();
#endif

Did I miss something?

Regards, Olaf.
