I thought maybe I had removed a needed component so I did a complete
reinstall and tried it and got the same thing. Wiith or wthout making any
kernel config changes the kernel refuses to build the modules, failing on
the first module the config falls for. Changing the kernel config to add or
remove drivers as modules will cause the system to fail on whatever the new
first module to be built is. Help!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do an install based on the downloadable RHL 7.1 CD ISO images, installing
the normal set of packages that would be required to rebuild the kernel
2.cd into the kernal source tree
3.run "make menuconfig" and when it comes up just exit without making any
changes
4.Now run "make dep;make". This should run and complete normally with a
fresh vmlinux
5.Now do "make modules"
	

Actual Results:  It should fail on the first module it has to build, which
for me with the default config is "net/dummy.o". If you edit the config and
add some more drivers to be built as modules then do the "make dep;make"
part again it will fail on whatever the new first module is with the same
errors in the same file:
