unstable breaks kernel compile

["Robert L. Harris" <Robert.L.Harris@rdlg.net>]

I just ran a distupgrade to debian unstable.  I tried to compile my
2.4.2 kernel and I get this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/arch/i386/boot'
ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s -oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect
ld: cannot open binary: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [bbootsect] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2

I saw an error durring the upgrade though.  It said "-oformat" had been
changed out with "--oformat".  When I manually ran the command:

ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat binary bbootsect.o -o arch/i386/boot/bootsect.o

then it seems to compile just fine.


Not a good thing... Thoughts?
