First of all, this is to Martin. Please do not post in HTML, even if it's
encasulated in MIME.
Secondly, sounds like Martin's missing bin86, the app which provides the
assembler and assembly linker for Linux. Reinstall it and see what
happens.
But for the fellow below, deboot, I don't know if you're getting the same
erorr messages as Martin, but if you are, then try what I suggested to
him, but if not, then have you done the necessary upgrades? Check the
README for the things you needed to upgrade before trying to compile the
kernel.
