Did you do a " make mrproper" before trying to compile? It cleans up the source.
Among other things, "make mrproper" deletes include/asm. So this does not only not help, but will lead to exact this problem. -o) Hubert Mantel Goodbye, dots... /\\ _\_v
My guns arn't big enough to go up against you Herbert; BUT quoting from the KERNEL HOW-TO *************************************************************************** 4.3. Other ``make''ables
`make mrproper' will do a more extensive `clean'ing. It is sometimes necessary; you may wish to do it at every patch. `make mrproper' will also delete your configuration file, so you might want to make a backup of it (.config) if you see it as valuable.

I've had to use it to clean out old configurations, and it always leaves the source functional for a new "make menuconfig".
