I'm getting some errors when trying to make bzImage...

I do:
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
...it does some crap...and then the last few lines say:

make[3]: *** [built-in.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/drivers/usb/gadget'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/drivers/usb/gadget'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_usb/gadget] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

what does this mean and how can i fix it?

More than likely you are not going to use the gadget API so I would go remove this in your config.

makes sense...

what other stuff should I leave out of the config? ...cuz i'm kinda new at this...
