Well it *should* work anyway.  The builkernel/installkernel targets are 
just a little broken if one hasn't updated sources and done make world.
And he didn't say if he did update sources or not.
	Besides, the error he's getting seems a little more serious than your 
average kernel compile failure.  By the way 'Dead Line', what system 
are you trying this on?  What release?  
	And I don't know how to clean up what you've done.  Perhaps a make 
clean in /usr/src/ would work, but I don't know all the things that 
would result after doing that on the main /usr/src branch.  If you had 
ran make world you would lose all your object files I believe, and I 
don't think that would be good.
	Perhaps are you trying to build a kernel after updating your source, 
but before a make world?  You certainly can't do that.
