No, the problem (as I saw it) was not related to any kernel in particular.
There were zones of code like:

#ifdef CONFIG_I2C_BITVELLE
    extern int i2c_bitvelle_init(void);
#endif
...
#ifdef CONFIG_I2C_VELLEMAN
    i2c_bitvelle_init();
#endif

and the new option did not appear anywhere to be defined/undefined, so
building i2c in static mode you din't nad any prototypes...do not know
if there could be any more serious problem.
