Thanks to those who offered help, Here's a reply to my own problem:
In a nutshell, I believe I hadn't allowed make to prepare the kernel
sources for a RTL compile. Though I'm unclear as to the mechanics of it,
The RTL symbols weren't compiled into the kernel as they should be
(though I did see "D_RT_" during the compile).
I had manually typed "CONFIG_RTL=y" in to an preexisting .config file in
the linux directory _after_ my make menuconfig. This is bad - I've
found that one must run, say, make menuconfig and "save changes to
config" after modifying a .config file in order to propagate the
changes.
So to fix this I did: make distclean, copied my preferrred .config to
.../linux, make menuconfig, make dep, make zImage, make modules, make
modules_install, make install
I found that the kernel compiled yesterday was not the same size as the
one compiled today, and cat /proc/ksyms shows that the new kernel has
the symbols I was loooking for yesterday.
