gmac is the Ethernet device on the new machines (like the iBook I'm
writing this on). So it looks as if they're rolling support for the
new Macs into the stable tree, and not everything got there. Try
resyncing the kernel sources. If that doesn't work, you're probably
safe simply taking gmac.o out of drivers/net/Makefile.
