It seems Mandrake related. I configured and compiled succesfully today having:
[frans@dolphin alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6]$ rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.19-16mdk
[frans@dolphin alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6]$ urpmf autoconf.h | grep kernel-source
kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/include/linux/autoconf.h
[frans@dolphin alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6]$ ls -l
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/include/linux/autoconf.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93742 Sep 20 19:11
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/include/linux/autoconf.h
[frans@dolphin alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6]$
When I had a configure problem today it turned out
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/include/linux/autoconf.h was missing resulting in
not testing the kernel version properly (something with ...mdkcustom IIRC) and
not recognizing PCI support in the kernel etc. I'm pretty sure _I_ didn't
remove that file ......
Uninstalling and reinstalling the kernel-source RPM gave me back
/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/include/linux/autoconf.h and configure and
make worked fine (although with lots of warnings).
