kernel compile gone wrong.

[Steve Holmes]

Since you have the speakup 0.10a archive, look in there for a README.cvs
or CVS and read that. It explains a bit more about the checkout process
mentioned above. Like mentioned elseware, do *NOT* put the old speakup
into the kernel source tree.  Use the fresh kernel source before running
checkout.
