I'm getting an error when I execute 'make dep', after downloading the
2.4.20 kernel source, and executing 'make config'. The error is:

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Check the top-level Makefile for additional configuration.
*** Next, you must run 'make dep'.

debian:/usr/src/linux-2.4.20# make -f Makefile dep
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o
scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/boot'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `dep'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [archdep] Error 2

When I examine the makefile in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/boot,
'dep:' is indeed an 'empty' target, i.e., there's no rule to make it.
How do I successfully make the dependencies?

Regards,

(This seems to be normal.) But it has no dependencies, either, so it must
be up-to-date, right?

Have you tried running "make dep" rather than "make -f Makefile dep"?

The problem turned out to be a defective 'make' in /usr/local/bin,
which was invoked before the 'make' in /usr/bin.
