Not pcmcia, that error is coming from modprobe. At a guess (and I have to guess because you did not supply any data about your machine), you are compiling on a kernel without modules. Something is invoking modprobe while executing those commands, which is strange because modprobe is not needed there.
Building the pcmcia directory is a temporary measure until everybody upgrades to a recent pcmcia-cs. The worst it will do is build an empty /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8/pcmcia directory.
Stick the commands below in a file then, as root, strace -f -o modprobe.strace sh -x filename >modprobe.sh 2>&1 mail me the modprobe.strace and modprobe.sh output. Also include the output from "sh scripts/ver_linux".
cd /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8; mkdir -p pcmcia; find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.0-test8; fi
