Thanks Paul for your help :-)

I added a CONFIG_IPSEC_NAT_TRAVERSAL=n line in linux/net/ipsec/defconfig to
disable NAT-T, also tried remove this line. The result is same,
ipsec_nat_encap unknown when insert ipsec.ko into running kernel.

ipsec_nat_encap is defined in  linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_xmit.c, but it is
undefed already by CONFIG_IPSEC_NAT_TRAVERSAL:
   1727
   1728 #ifdef CONFIG_IPSEC_NAT_TRAVERSAL
   1729 enum ipsec_xmit_value ipsec_nat_encap(struct ipsec_xmit_state *ixs)
   1730 {
   1731     if (ixs->natt_type && ixs->natt_head) {

After undef CONFIG_IPSEC_NAT_TRAVERSAL, then 'make
KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.9.1-667/build module' finished, I got following
message:

#################
  LD [M]  /root/src/openswan-2.6.14/modobj26/ipsec.o

=========================================================

KLIPS26 module built successfully.

I think the problem is in several assembly language file, like
"modobj26/ipsec_mast.s":
    177 .L27:
    178     .loc 1 282 0
    179     movw    $1460, 242(%esi)
    180     .loc 1 283 0
    181     movw    $1460, 240(%esi)
    182     .loc 1 285 0
    183     movl    %esi, %eax
    184     call    ipsec_xmit_encap_bundle_2
    185     .loc 1 287 0
    186     testl   %eax, %eax
    187     jne .L36
    188     .loc 1 294 0
    189     movl    %esi, %eax
    190     call    ipsec_nat_encap
    191     .loc 1 295 0
    192     testl   %eax, %eax
    193     .p2align 4,,2
    194     je  .L62
In line 190, ipsec_nat_encap is called.

I think I still need to do more configuration to solve this problem, but I
don't know where to configure :-(

PS: I want to compile an ipsec kernel module without NAT-T, which do not
require a recompilation of the kernel image, this is why I want to undef
CONFIG_IPSEC_NAT_TRAVERSAL
