Well it doesn't here.
I have spent years compiling kernels, and never really had a problem before,
until now. I posted the Errors here, but no-one suggested what may be wrong.

It is fast looking that code which fails is that which needs kernel headers
installed. Code which does not is that which *IS* compiling OK.

I installed the APT package which was on the Debian 2.0 CD, in the upgrade
directory. I then ran it to upgrade.

I upgraded TWO 1.3.1 boxes here, and both have the same problem. So if it
broke, then it broke twice. odd !
Does anyone that understands compile errors know what mine suggest. I have
posted them twice here now this last week, but no-one has responded with
and explanation.
If I get such, I might just suss why things are broken.
