I just tried it again:
checkinstall make install
worked, then upgraded coreutils and tried
victoria:/home/amarsh04/kermit-src# checkinstall make install
checkinstall 1.5.3, Copyright 2001 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran

Installing with "make install"...

Bye.
Then I downgraded coreutils, and tried
checkinstall make install
again and it worked again.
Do you have any suggestions on narrowing down what the problem might be?
I am running the 686-specific kernel and libc6 on a Pentium II machine
but can't think of anything else too unusual with my setup.

I had checkinstall break since November 11 2005. I tried downgrading
my kernel, libc6, reinstalling checkinstall and finally downgrading
coreutils before it worked again. See bug #339137.
I can't reproduce this.
