It has been suggested that I downgrage binutils if I am running
woody, but I am running potato.

I next tried:

#make-kpkg clean
#fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=usb.1.0 \ kernel_image

after many screens, the last few lines were:

lippo/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux
net/network.o(.data+0x57c4): undefined reference to
`sysctl_ipx_pprop_broadcasti
ng'
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lippo/linux'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
l

I would like some help understanding this.
