The file vector.s includes a header file vector.h which I had the same problem initially but then realised that config was patched as well. You have to rebuild config first, then clean out the directory (there will be a spurious vector.s left in it from the old config), and re-config. Works fine after that. (Always worth looking to see what else was patched :-) On a related note, config warns to do a make depend but is this really necessary if you're only going to build the kernel and then delete the objs, etc (to save space)? I can't see any reason for it if you're not going to be rebuilding the kernel after (say) modifying a source/header file (& so not recompiling all files). Just curious.
