The "make distclean" which Grant suggested below seems to have resolved this.

Thanks Grant!

I did a CVS update yesterday and tried to build a kernel today, using the same .config from my last successful build (2.4.9-pa78).

Chuck,
you went from 2.4.9 to 2.4.16...quite a jump.

After a "make clean", "make depend" is failing with the error below. I've done a "make menuconfig" and things seem to be OK.

Anyone have any suggestions?

The other fellow is right, you need to run any variant of make config (eg make oldconfig or menuconfig) in order to fix up CONFIG_XXX options which will match the new kernel. Maybe you did that and just forgot to mention it.

When I get paranoid, I save off the .config, make distclean, restore the .config, make oldconfig, and continue on with the rest of the usual steps.

hth,
grant
