Possibly this was a foolish assumption and a > `make dep clean' was necessary. 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).
