Building Bestcrypt 1.5_p7 fails because it can't find linux/modversions.h, even though /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversion.h does exists and yes, /usr/src/linux is pointing to my current running and compiled kernel. Also tried to emerge Bestcrypt on a freshly-installed system (also 2.4.26-r9) and got the same error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge bestcrypt 2. 3.

Note to self/fellow devs: the include path isn't set correctly by the package.
I just commited bestcrypt-1.5_p9. This compiles modules for 2.4 kernels. Please test this as I'm not sure I got the kernel versioning numbers correct.
