Is your sound working now? If yes ignore

Simplest thing to resolve that probelm is to remove module support from
the kernel entirely. The module tagging stuff to identify non kernel
modules has caused a few build problems.

If you just want to get sound working then compiling sound into the kernel
and not as a module may do the trick
