kernel-package can't make compressed image...

[Pat Kennedy <hacman@iquest.net>]

I'm unable to build a kernel .deb package with the
2.0.34-4 kernel source and other required/suggested packages as
documented in /usr/doc/kernel-package/README. Doing
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
compiled everything, but, at the linker phase...

make[3]: Entering directory

Where are char input_data[] and int input_len defined?  I've got
this error on two different systems; scratch build Debian 2.0 from
boot floppies, the other an upgrade of Debian 1.3.x/Linux 2.0.30
	Many thanks in advance.

It was the Law of the Sea, they said.  Civilization ends at the waterline.
Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.
