I can make modutils 2.4 (including kallsyms and depmod) work in cross compile mode and still maintain backwards compatibility. Conceptually the change is simple, but it affects a lot of code and needs a lot of testing. I am not going to spend any time on adding cross compile ability to modutils 2.4 until I see a defined need for it, people saying "would be nice to have does not count". If I cannot get kallsyms into the kernel for native compiles, why should I waste my time making kallsyms work for the even smaller group of people who do cross compiles?
Bottom line - when, and only when, the kksymoops patch is in the 2.4 kernel, then I will spend the time to make modutils 2.4 work in cross compile mode. If you insist that kallsyms work in cross compile mode before the patch goes in, then it is not going to happen and nobody gets automatic oops decoding in 2.4.
