What processor(s) did you mark in config?

You will probably need to update the assembler, gas, before you can
compile.  Note that 2.2.1 comes with 2.7.2.1 of gcc, and I'm guessing the
code is expecting you to have that.

I would highly suggest upgrading your box to 2.2.1 before trying to build
2.2.1 kernels on it.
