I just downloaded the new kernel-source-2.4.21-1 package.  When I unpacked it
and tried 'make xconfig', I got this:

This is line 43 from /usr/src/linux/crypto/Configure.in:

"$CONFIG_INET6_ESP" = "m" ]; then

I can't figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?

I tried turning the elif's into nested else/if[ie:
  else
    if [ "$CONFIG_INET_AH" = "m" -o \
         "$CONFIG_INET_ESP" = "m" -o \
         "$CONFIG_INET6_AH" = "m" -o \
         "$CONFIG_INET6_ESP" = "m" ]; then
       define_tristate CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1 m
    else
      tristate       '  SHA1 digest algorithm' CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1
    fi
  fi

instead of:
elif [ "$CONFIG_INET_AH" = "m" -o \
"$CONFIG_INET_ESP" = "m" -o \
"$CONFIG_INET6_AH" = "m" -o \
"$CONFIG_INET6_ESP" = "m" ]; then
define_tristate CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1 m
else
tristate ' SHA1 digest algorithm' CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1
fi
]
which allowed xconfig to open up, but that section of the config still didn't work[every option was grayed out], I ended up falling back on menuconfig.
