It's not a "sound drivers" problem, howewer without it kernel compiles and run succesfully. Seems like gcc/bunitils bug/feature. What have to be done to eliminate this error?
GNU ld version 2.15.96 20050308 gcc version 3.4.3
Don't use gcc 3.4 to compile Linux 2.4. It may work for some kernel configurations but it will fail for others.

I would've thought this was fixed in 2.4.x now. You might try using newer sources. The below patch fixes the issue:

As the original patch I found stated about gcc-3.4.x:
From: Jan Hubicka <jh@xxxxxxx>
GCC now converts sprintf (a,"%s",b) to strcpy. This lose on kernel as strcpy is not inlined and not present in library, so one gets linker failure. It seems to make sense to apply this optimization by hand.
