Make Errors During Kernel Build

[David Raeker-Jordan <rkrjrdn@epix.net>]

I successfully built a 2.4.2 kernel on an old Pentium but forgot a few
things, so I am need to rebuild.

First, I deleted the /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/ subdirectories and uncompressed
and untarred linux-2.4.2.tar.bz2 into /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/

I then ran: 

make clean 
make menuconfig 
make-kpkg kernel_image

Things seem to be going fine until the end of the build, when I get:
(Please excuse any typos, e.g., I can't get the ' to swing the other way ;) )

bbootsect.s: Assembler messages
bbootsect.s:253: Warning: indirect lcall without '*'
ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s -oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect
ld: cannot open binary: No such file or directory
make [2]: *** [bbootsect] Error 1
make [2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make [1]: *** [bzImage] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/linux'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2

Of course, there is no .deb created. What did I do wrong?
