Well, you should compile your kernel first. Add sound support but
without selecting any soundcard. Once you finished, go to the
alsa directory and run configure. That's exactly what I did, and it
worked fine. Ah. It's possible that you need the GNU tools autoconf,
automake, etc. But you should see that when running the configure
script. I've them installed, so I can't often tell if it's actually
needed.
