Gaaah. This is was on MacOS X. Whose filesystem isn't case sensitive yet somehow tries to be. If ipt_TOS.c and ipt_tos.c both exist in the same directory I'm not surprised this works ok for everyone else except me. :-)
Fault found: A problem exists between the chair and the keyboard. I'll switch to a Linux system to work with Linux kernel sources.
Sorry for the noise.
