Hi,
I guess that the Makefile hack is still causing problems.
With today's linux-next (20140117), I see these build errors (or warnings
in the case of loadable modules):

when 802.15.4 and Bluetooth are built as loadable modules:

WARNING: net/ieee802154/6lowpan_iphc: 'lowpan_header_compress' exported twice. Previous export was in net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko
WARNING: net/ieee802154/6lowpan_iphc: 'lowpan_process_data' exported twice. Previous export was in net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko

when they are builtin to the kernel image:

net/ieee802154/built-in.o: In function `lowpan_header_compress':
(.text+0x3d00): multiple definition of `lowpan_header_compress'
net/bluetooth/built-in.o:(.text+0x2e8f0): first defined here
net/ieee802154/built-in.o: In function `lowpan_process_data':
(.text+0x3230): multiple definition of `lowpan_process_data'
net/bluetooth/built-in.o:(.text+0x2de20): first defined here
