Well. As you might have noticed - this is build for StrongArm platform
(and that's why I wrote this to SA port maintainer, not to linux-kernel at
first).
This is repeatable, of course, and it is started as of 2.4.6 upgrade:
...

arm-linux-ld: cannot open drivers/net/pcmcia/pcmcia_net.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

And Rules.make is almost identical to that in vanilla kernel (if someone is
interested). (almost means that it have rule on how to make .o files from .S)
