IRC:
[ 9:50am] <lostlogic> can you BUG me so I remember to fix tomorrow
[...]
[ 9:54am] <lostlogic> it is during linking, rather than compile that is why it
takes so long to get the error

so long mate,

martin, can you confirm or deny this bug?  If you have this problem, try make
distclean and then rebuilding (don't forget to save your .config before doing
make distclean)

this is a problem with the nature of the kernel config system relating to the
preempt patch I THINK, anywho, I'm making a new lolo-sources ATM with an updated
preempt patch, I hope that fixes it.
