By the way, you are asking to die here, very badly, one day.

Why?

You are building userland before building and installing a new
kernel. Imagine what will happen to you one morning when userland
expects the kernel to have, say, a new fork() call at a new syscall
number, and you are trying to run this userland with your new
kernel. You won't be happy.

Always build the new kernel FIRST.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with the rest of your problem here --
I don't know what is causing it -- but I thought this warning was
important enough to tell you about it.
