>From drivers/scsi/Kconfig:

config LIBFC
	tristate "LibFC module"
	depends on SCSI && SCSI_FC_ATTRS
	---help---
	  Fibre Channel library module

config FCOE
	tristate "FCoE module"
	depends on SCSI
	select LIBFC
	---help---
	  Fibre Channel over Ethernet module


Aside from being very skimpy help messages, nothing there requires
SCSI_FC_ATTRS to be enabled for FCOE, so when FCOE is enabled,
LIBFC is selected, and then bang:

ERROR: "scsi_is_fc_rport" [drivers/scsi/libfc/libfc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "fc_remote_port_delete" [drivers/scsi/libfc/libfc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "fc_remote_port_add" [drivers/scsi/libfc/libfc.ko] undefined!

ERROR: "fc_remove_host" [drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe.ko] undefined!

config attached.
