This sounds very similar to the problems I had building the 2.4.19 kernel, I think the linker
is too rigorous in checking what the machine type it is linking against. I had to pull some
directories from the kernel build in order to get it through, pending a toolchain fix. See the 
BK log on 2.4.19 for details.
