When analyzing your bug I was really astonished - I thought at a such scenario 
( 1st build without CONFIG_PROC_MM created ptrace.o but then failed - config 
updated - rebuild all but ptrace.o is not rebuilt) and posted my answer in 
that hypothesis, but I thought that was too hard to trigger and that I had 
made some errors.

Make dep should have fixed things, so it's not your fault, but in this case it 
didn't - sometimes happens in 2.4 builds. Luckily, 2.6 finally fixed this (at 
least for what I've heard and for my personal experience).

Good bye and best wishes for your new kernel!
