Building kernel the Debian way fails

[Jose R R <Jose.r.r@metztli-it.com>]

Niltze, all!

Trying to build a Linux kernel the Debian way -- since I need to have
udebs for my project. I am building on Stretch/Sid and have followed
instructions at:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

I get the source and decompress it:
apt-get source linux
(tried with linux-4.0.8-1 AND linux-4.0.8-2)

Apply existing patches:
fakeroot debian/rules source

Use quilt to apply Reiser4 patch:
gzip -dc ../reiser4-for-4.0.4.patch.gz | quilt fold
(finishes without errors)

I then change the configuration before build:
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup_amd64
make -C debian/build/build_amd64_none_amd64 menuconfig
(enable Reiser4 in the kernel and OS/2 HPFS as module)

And build for the amd64 flavour:
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_amd64_none_amd64

Procedure executes for a while but then:

Thank you in advance for any insight. Appreciated.
