Linux 2.4 Kernel Compiling Error: no rule to made head.o

Hey everyone, compiling 2.4.31 on a new debian sarge install. Here's what happens:

Code:

$ export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3

$ make -e deps

Works fine.

$ make -e bzImage modules

Goes fine until this:

Code:

gzip -f -9 < $tmppiggy > $tmppiggy.gz; \

echo "SECTIONS { .data : { input_len = .; LONG(input_data_end - input_data) input_data = .; *(.data) input_data_end = .; }}" > $tmppiggy.lnk; \

ld -m elf_i386 -r -o piggy.o -b binary $tmppiggy.gz -b elf32-i386 -T $tmppiggy.lnk; \

rm -f $tmppiggy $tmppiggy.gz $tmppiggy.lnk

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/head.o', needed by `bvmlinux'.  Stop.

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sean/kernel/linux-2.4.31/arch/i386/boot/compressed'

What should I do?

I hope you have configured the kernel, here is what I did other day on my home computer:

Code:

make menuconfig

or

make oldconfig

make mrproper

make

make modules

make modules_install

make install

Yes, I make menuconfig'd to my specifications.
