2.4.2 troubles

[Tyr-7BE]

I'm trying to upgrade my Potato 2.2.18 (I think) kernel to 2.4.2. I did the make mrproper thing, then make oldconfig, then make deps, then make bzImage. Well the install goes for a while (a good long while), but after a time, it gives me this:

bbootsect.s: Assembler messages:
bbootsect.s:253: Warning: indirect lcall without `*'
ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s -oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect
ld: cannot open binary: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [bbootsect] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/conor/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2
fixxxer:/home/conor/linux#

Now is this a fault of my own? I know some C++, but this seems to be a make problem and the kernel install is designed to run smoothly. Are there any steps I'm missing?
