The build normally patches all of the references to tso_segs and tso_size
with references to gso_segs and gso_size, see 

 patches/linux-2.6.16.29/net-gso-0-base.patch 

This will only happen for linux kernel versions that have appropriate 
subdirectories in the patches directory. Since you're building a random
other kernel, the patching will not occur and you'll get your error. 

Are you sure you see this issue with 2.6.16.29? (which is the kernel
shipped with 3.0.3-0)? 

>It appears to be the same error with kernel 2.6.17.10.

Indeed. 

>Any advice?
 
Use 2.6.16.29, or create new patches against the later kernels; you 
can probably get some help from looking at the -unstable tree.



cheers,

S.
