Additional info:

I'm trying to compile a no-module no-frills kernel for use as a dns/sendmail
box.  The -3 kernel compiled fine, but I'm trying to use -4 for the ext3 errata.
 This is from a clean, no changes kernel-source rpm, copied from /usr/src to
/usr/local/src.  I'm running menuconfig, make dep, make bzImage.
