Problem compiling kernel

[Seth Rutenberg <setharon@mindspring.com>]

I am having difficulty compiling kernel 2.0.27 2.
So I tried a compile without any of the kernel features for the sake of
diagnosing the problem, and the problem persisted.
It comes at the end when compiling is finished and make calls the ld
command:

ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000fffe0
nm vmlinux | grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$\)\|\( a \)' | sort >
System.map

Can anyone please help with this?
