The define seems to be where it shouldn't. I don't know how it got
there but I don't remember having any problems upgrading to
2.0.32. You could try using the patch-kernel script from a clean
source tree.  It's linux/scripts in the kernel source.

I can mail you the offending file if you want, but there may be other
things lurking in there so it may be better to start over again.
