i have installed a new linux-2.1.114 and selected the following fb-options:
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_VGA=m
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB_MDA=m
CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL=m
CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y
CONFIG_FBCON_MFB=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB2=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB4=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=m
CONFIG_FBCON_VGA=m
CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y

the whole kernel is compile by egcs 
egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)
libc-5.4.44
ld.so.1.9.9
binutils-2.9.1.0.7

and here is the output if i try to insert the fb-modules:
weigon:/lib/modules/2.1.114/video # insmod fbcon-vga.o
weigon:/lib/modules/2.1.114/video # insmod vgafb.o
vgafb.o: unresolved symbol fb_display

fb_display is in the kernel.

weigon@weigon:/linux2/home/weigon > nm linux/vmlinux | grep fb_display
c0236eac B fb_display

but the 'B' tells me 

    'B'
          The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as
          BSS).

is this correct ?? please check at your linux-box.
is someone else using egcs ??

i'm just getting mad.

thats all
