Adam,

   Am I mistaken, or have you started three threads on this topic today?
I've answered one of them with this Subject: Re: Kernel Compile errors

Could you please check that thread of yours, on the list? In case
there's gum in the pipes up your way, I'll quote it below.

Adam,

   I've never been in your situation, but it appears evident that you're
missing the header which defines error values. I suspect you'll find
that scripts/kconfig/mconf.c should include /usr/include/linux/errno.h,
or a header which in turn includes it, so you'll have:

#define  EINTR     4 /* Interrupted system call */

The same goes for EAGAIN. It's defined in the same file, naturally.

Can you post the #includes at the top of scripts/kconfig/mconf.c?
If the include is there, then your include path probably needs tweaking.
