kernel compile question..

[Ishwar Rattan <ishwar@pali.cps.cmich.edu>]

I am trying to compile the kernel for enabling SMP
with command:
  fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version="-smp" kernel-image
in /usr/src/linux directory and see the error message::
...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.7'
COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l 'gcc*' perl dpkg 'libc6*' binutils ldso make dpkg-dev
|\
         awk '$1 ~ /[hi]i/ { printf("%s-%s\n", $2, $3) }'   >
debian/buildinfo
awk: relocation error: awk: symbol _dl_catch_error, version GLIBC_PRIVATE
not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 127
#

Any ideas?
