Kernel 2.4.8 - EMU10K1 - Kernel Compile Breaks in Module main.o

Problem:
Kernel compilation breaks with message main.o(.modinfo+0x40): multiple definition of `__module_author'

Problem fix:
Delete the /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/emu10k1 tree and copy the tree of kernel 2.4.7 into 2.4.8. Then it works.

Error Correction:
Please, review the changes made to emu10k1 by Robert Love announced in Changelog-2.4.8 under "final:"

Configuration file used for kernel compilation:
see attached text file "config.emu10k".
The contents of the config file has not changed since kernel 2.4.5 and worked for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7.

Error log (make modules):
see attached text file "module_emu10k.txt"

Thanks for your kind attention to this matter.
