Did you hit n during the configuration process by accident? Check your config file and also environment variables.

[Comment 2 Peter Ruskin 2010-11-14 17:50:16 UTC]

No, definitely not.  This happened with 2.6.36 and 2.6.36-r1 on two separate occasions.

[Comment 3 Peter Ruskin 2010-11-15 09:37:47 UTC]

This also happens on my other machine, an x86.

Here is the culprit:

scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/x86/Kconfig
/usr/src/linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r1/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 25: ngcc: command not found
/usr/src/linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r1/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: ngcc: command not found
make: ngcc: Command not found

Hi all, thanks to my friend oon for this solution :

grep CROSS /usr/src/linux/.config

replace CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="n"
to CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=""

cp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/config_bak
cd /usr/src/linux/; make mrproper ; cp ../config_bak .config ; make oldconfig

Re Comment #4:

Thanks for the fix - it built fine after that.  I had to unmask the latest nvidia-drivers for this kernel.

[Comment 6 Anthony Basile 2010-11-17 00:46:35 UTC]

*** Bug 344711 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-11-23 14:31:28 UTC]

CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE expects a toolchain prefix of the sort:
"hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu-", including the dash. It does not work with a y or n. You can set it as a make command line variable as well:

make -j2 CROSS_COMPILE="hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu-"

and it should then work fine.
