[pptp-server] problems compiling ppp-2.3.10 with kernel 2.2.16

I would be extremely interested in an answer to this myself. I built 
pppd-2.3.10 + encryption with a 2.2.16 kernel fine on one system, and when 
I tried to do it on another, I got the same errors. I ended up copying the 
entire kernel source tree from the server to the client, as well as the 
pppd binary, and it worked fine. The problem is that I can't remember how I 
built the first one. I think I did everything manually (copying the RC4 
files from SSL to the source tree, etc.) on the server, and on the client I 
tried to use the "all-in-one" patch (ppp-2.3.10-openssl-0.9.5-mppe.patch).
