FWIW, the "Shirke" in the subject was accidental, not a comment. And thanks gentlemen, your combined advice appears to have worked. I had not in fact a working config file - I thought "make oldconfig" generated one. I followed all your advice and the build completed without error. I had this problem with 8 as well, and hadn't figured out why. 9 came out, and I hoped upgrading would fix it. Now I can get on with fixing some dependent configuration problems.
