Failed to compile Lucent winmodem driver

I tried to install driver for my Thinkpad T23 modem under gentoo linux 1.4_rc2. It is a lucent winmodem
So I downloaded the ltmodem-8.26a9.tar.gz
which is compatible with gcc32 from
http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/#sources .
I tried to install the driver with vanilla kernel 2.4.20 or some other
kernels. I do have a link /usr/src/linux to the /usr/src/linux-2.4.20
or /usr/src/linux-XXX, where XXX is the kernel version I was running.
however, when I manually run
./build_module
I have the following error,

"Using KCFLAGS for gcc version 3.x
gcc -c -o ltmodem.a ltmodem.c
ltmodem.c:27:31: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
......"
I do not understand why it complains that no modversions.h, since
I do have the file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h
I searched the forum and searched on google, but did not find that other people have these problem.
BTW, I also tried
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ltmodem, also failed.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Solved!
I just solve it by myself.
After ./build_module failed, I found that
the source.tar.gz was decompressed and there was a
directory source.
cd source
./configure
make
make install
modprobe -a lt_serial
then I was able to use the winmodem. It works like a charm.

just a note, there is a package for a lucent winmodem. It's called ltmodem.

There is indeed, and it is masked.

Where do I find details of the mask to emerge it ?
