Are you by any chance trying to do this on an OS X machine?
That's going to lead to pain and suffering.
For example, there are a couple of files which have the same name with
different case, which isn't going to work on a default OS X install.
By default OS X has a case insensitive file system. It's possible to
change that, but you *really* want a Linux system to build the kernel.
