Sorry it took me so long to try this out, my machine was on demo at a
local show.
OK, removing the attribute line gets rid of this problem and there
are no further compilation errors.

But linking doesn't succeed, especially csc.o references several
functions called ncr53c9x_.... I really don't get this, the Cumana
card has a FAS216 chip, so why does the object file reference
ncr53c9x stuff???

On the same subject, somebody should approach Cumana on behalf of the
removal of the NDA. Who's going to do this? I can do it, but I want
to coordinate this in case the kernel team want to do it themselves.

So long, Markus
