I experienced this problem many times so far and working with a build system came to the idea of failing builds when there are unresolved symbols.
I'm pretty sure that having this patch in mainstream will make unresolved symbols a rare problem as many of them will be fixed soon. So I'm pretty agree with Adrian that modules with unresolved symbols is a bug and it MUST be fixed. I would be very much interested to hear Andrew opinion on this as he probably makes kernels even more often than any of us :)
Thanks, Kirill
