This problem has been resolved by adding --config defconfig to
the make-kpkg invocation that was failing. Its in SVN,
and should appear in 2.6.14-3. However, as some targets,
which don't need a .config, have worked in the past,
I'm not sure that I see compliance with the above description
as a good justification for making invocations that worked
(flawlessly) in the past fail.
