All of those .c files are user space utilities, they do not fit the kernel build system and do not belong in the kernel. Please move these files to a separate user space package and delete from 2.4.19-pre*.

I think there needs to be some way to guarantee that these last two programs are available whenever the driver is included with a kernel.
