make dep bombs

[Kevin F. Berrien]

Thanks to those who helped with the make dep issue.  It appears make 
oldconfig did the trick, and I had a successful made dep run.  Still 
have a problem compiling kernel... but I'm guessing its my config. 

Are there any known kernel settings which can cause problems?
