Kernel compilation error.......

["C" <C@Gryning.com>]

Hi there

I recently upgraded my machine....via apt.....this included a glibc6/-dev
upgrade amongst other things.....
now when compiling a kernel...even one known to previously compile........it
fails at this point every time

drivers/net/net.o(.data+0xd4): undefined reference to `local symbols in
discarded section .text.exit'
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2

The versions of my curreent packages are:
libc6          2.2.4-7
libc6-dev      2.2.4-7
kernel-package 7.75
gcc            2.95.4-9
gcc-2.95       2.95.4-0.01100
make           3.79.1-10

Any offered assistance in how to acertain further information about this bug
would be apreciated

Many thanks
