Unfortunately, this is not the case. Look at the version this guy is
trying to build: it's 2.0.0. That kernel WILL NOT BUILD with newer
binutils, simply because the newer binutils had not been released by that
time so the 'hash /usr/bin/encaps' kludge does not exist in the Makefile.
The logical thing to do is to go for a newer kernel. If for some reason
you cannot do that (although 2.0.0 really isn't the kernel of choice), you
have several options:
- use older binutils - 2.6.x.14 should be fine (I forgot what x is),
2.7.0.3 _might_ work too.
- steal arch/i386/Makefile from a newer kernel and stick it into 2.0.0.
