You've compiled this same version of the kernel with pdksh? Something
may have changed in the Makefiles where a BASH-only shell command is
used.
I'm generally pretty leery of changing the system-wide default shell
to something different than the installation default on any Unix
system, Linux being no exception. If I have a user that wants a
different shell then I modify their entry in /etc/passwd.
Of course the easiest thing for you to do is just link /bin/sh back to
/bin/bash and see if the kernel build works. That would certainly rule
out problems with pdksh.

This isn't really related to your problem, so, consider it friendly
advice! ;)
If you're going to stick with Debian I'd recommend you seriously
consider using the kernel-package utility (make-kpkg). It makes
building and installing new kernels much easier. It works with source
trees from Debian kernel-source packages and straight kernel source.
