Can anyone help with this? Feel free to kick me if you dont want these questions
showing up on this list.

I am consistently getting kernel make fail error1 using 4.2 RELEASE with the
sources package from the release iso, with the following output.
...
-fno-builtin -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  ../../i386/i386/userconfig.c
gensetdefs: subr_prf.o: not an ELF file
gensetdefs: subr_prof.o: not an ELF file
gensetdefs: subr_blist.o: not an ELF file
gensetdefs: subr_scanf.o: not an ELF file
gensetdefs: subr_taskqueue.o: not an ELF file
gensetdefs: subr_xxx.o: not an ELF file

Config and make depend went fine. It's a Toshiba 490CDT laptop.

The config file is below if it helps (sorry). SCSI and USB sections removed as I
had them commented out.
