I had the same experience with the new assembler and gcc 2.96
with scripts/conf used by 'make oldconfig'.  Traced it to
fopen(name,"r") returning 0 with errno=EINVAL. open(2) was never called
according to strace and 'name' was perfectly fine.  Smelled like a tool
chain problem so moved to Debian and it went away (gcc version 3.2.2
20030124 (Debian prerelease))
