Did you do a 'make mrproper' before anything else?

Yeah, thanks...  Turns out the problem was my gcc.  I reinstalled 2.95.2 and the
problem went away.

Can it, i have never seen or heard of that problem, in any case you have to 
use make mrproper when you install a new kernel source otherwise things like 
symlinks to /usr/include are not created.

That will not help when installing a new kernel source.
If you look into the kernel source top dir Makefile you will see that "clean" 
only removes an amount of unwanted configureation *.h files, mrproper removes 
logfiles, files preceeded with a . (as in) .config,  removes old symlinks and 
recreates them + much much more.

And on another note if your statement were true, i am convinced that a 
problem of that magnitute would be fixed long before we the end user even saw 
it.

Linus Torvalds does not tolerate sloppyness in his kernel source.

As far as I can see from reading the makefiles, and from looking at
the output when it's actually run, make mrproper does not create any
symlinks. Old libcs (pre version 6) needed symlinks from /usr/include
into the kernel include files, but that's obsolete with glibc, and
tends to cause more problems than it solves.

Some would argue that removing a config file is the limiting case of
corrupting it :). Plus, new tarballs of kernel sources are supposed to
be clean and mrproper to begin with.

Anyway, if you want a really clean source tree, make distclean is more
thorough, as it gets rid of patch(1) related detritus as well, which
mrproper has a habit of leaving behind.

Anna,

    What is "make mrproper"? What does it do?

Thanks,
