strange,
i never compiled smth in 3rdparty built in, always as modules,
and never had problems

i tried to follow the 2.4 way, and i had no problems so far
except that "make mrproper"  breaks "make clean" cause it deletes
3rdparty/Makefile

but it's pretty trivial to build it only once

may be adding to the Kconfig's in each 3rdparty tarball "select 3rdparty"
and 
-----------------------------
drivers-y       := drivers/ sound/  
if $(CONFIG_3RDPARTY)
drivers-y       += 3rdparty/
endif
 
would fix it

:(
never tried that 

what were the errors,
not finding some of the headers ?
