Agreed, but that wasn't my point.  There is debug code in the current
kernel that defines DEBUG to something non-numeric, which causes
the compile to barf on kernel.h in some cases (try defining DEBUG in
your Makefile).  Instances of the offending code (there are SEVERAL)
and kernel.h should be fixed.

Try this from the top level:
  grep -r DEBUG * | grep -v DEBUG_ | less
