Kernel Compile Fails

[Scott E.Graves <scottg@lintuit.com>]

When doing a make install in /usr/src/linux for kernel 2.4.2 I receive:

	make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-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/kernel-source-2.4.2/arch/i386/boot'
	make: *** [install] Error 2
	localhost:/usr/src/linux#

What is causing ld to fail? I just recently upgraded to sid on this machine. 
Prior to this, the compilation worked fine.
