It has been suggested to me that I include some more specific 
information, so here goes.  The errors I wrote of come when I modload 
the LKM:

# modload mod_ztdummy.o
mod_ztdummy.o(.text+0x1cb): In function `ztdummy_initialize':
/home/riz/zaptel-bsd/trunk/ztdummy/ztdummy.c:100: undefined reference to 
`zt_register'
mod_ztdummy.o(.text+0x2cc): In function `cleanup_module':
/home/riz/zaptel-bsd/trunk/ztdummy/ztdummy.c:144: undefined reference to 
`zt_unregister'
mod_ztdummy.o(.text+0x472): In function `ztdummy_timer':
/home/riz/zaptel-bsd/trunk/ztdummy/ztdummy.c:75: undefined reference to 
`zt_receive'
mod_ztdummy.o(.text+0x47e):/home/riz/zaptel-bsd/trunk/ztdummy/ztdummy.c:76: 
undefined reference to `zt_transmit'
modload: can't prelink `mod_ztdummy.o' creating `mod_ztdummy'

... all the 'undefined references' are to functions in a module which is 
already loaded:
# modstat
Type    Id   Offset Loadaddr Size Info     Rev Module Name
DEV       0  -1/165 ce480000 00a0 ce48ac00   2 zaptel

Thanks,
