Ok. This is now starting to seriously irritate me. I can no longer build kernels anymore. Even blowing away the source tree directory and re-expanding the tarball gets me nowhere. Thankfully I retained a "safe" kernel which boots (but doesn't give me the functionality I'm after, namely Macinto

Andrea, Alvin, and Reiner (and the rest of Debian-User): Thank you for your assistance. It turns out that there was something scrod in my source tree. After multiple attempts (including a "make mrproper") I finally blew away the source directory and re-extracted from the tarball. My builds hav
