Description of problem:
Errata kernel 2.4.20-20.7 fails to compile. System is fully updated. Compile procedure 
is taken from "Red Hat Linux 7.3: The Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide" 
Appendix A.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date -if kernel-source
2. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
3. make mrproper
4. cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686-smp.config .config
5. make menuconfig; <Exit> without any changes; <Yes>
6. make dep
7. make clean
8. make bzImage
