make-kpkg problem

[Larry Holish <ljholish@corecomm.net>]

I just upgraded from slink to potato rather successfully.  I am having
a problem upgrading my kernel from 2.0.38 to 2.2.17pre6-1.  I
installed kernel-package, and grabbed kernel-source-2.2.17,
unzipped/untarred it from /usr/src, creating the new directory
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17.  Then ran these commands:

# ln -s kernel-source-2.2.17 linux
# cd linux
# make config
# make-kpkg clean
# make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image

Here is the last few lines of output from the last command:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing \
-o scripts/split-include scripts/split-include.c
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `include/linux/autoconf.h', \
needed by `include/config/MARKER'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
#

I am using gcc 2.95.2-13, and kernel-package 7.04.potato.3.  I have
read thru the README and Problems files in the kernel-package docs,
but have not found a clue for this.  Any help would be appreciated.
