compiling kernel 2.4.14

[Mathias Palm <Mathias.Palm@gmx.net>]

When compiling kernel 2.4.14 I get after

make bzImage

the error

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.14/arch/i386/lib'

does anybody know what this means?

I tried to compile kernel 2.4.9 also getting the same result.
