You should have told us just what you are tying to do and how you are trying 
to achive it, yes one can see you are compiling, but what commands did you do 
beforehand, no way should you need to change Makefiles period, you may want 
to edit the Top dir Makefile and add an EXTRAVERSION number tho'. which may 
well save you a lot of problems if you succed in compiling and then the 
kernel wont boot.
Anyway, your directory sructure is broken, as i see it you have a directory or 
a symlink called /usr/src/inux-sh-2.4.18 you can have your source in any 
directory you want, _however_ you are well advised to create a symlink called 
linux pointing to where ever your source is, here is an example.

cd /usr/src
ls -al 
linux -> linux-sh-2.4.18
linux-sh-2.4.18

All the errors are from 'depend' that means you possably have NOT configured 
your kernel to start with.

For a quick HOWTO on making kernels goto;
http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/kernel.htm
Its old but is still valid for 2.4.x kernels.

Or read the README in the kernel source or read the Kernel-HOWTO found mostly 
in /usr/share/doc/*
Or
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html
