I got the same error trying to compile a kernel on 2.2.1.  My mistake
turned out to have been installing the new source code over the old
source code.  When I zapped the /usr/src/sys directory  (actually
I zapped everything under /usr/src) and reinstalled it (I just copied it
from the live file system cd), everything worked.  Getting rid of
/usr/src/sys destroys your kernel config file so it's a good idea to save
it to a safe place first.  I also created some links with lndir to the
source code on the cd for directories other than /usr/src/sys, so it could
find anything else it might happen to need.

So at least in my case it was not a timezone problem....
