Persistent seg-fault during build

I have the emcraft distro linux-M2S-1.12.0, a cortex-M2 ARM distro. I have successfully built and booted this several times.
When I went into the linux directory and ran 'make menuconfig' to enable the spi drivers, then ran 'make', I was confronted with:


  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  GEN     usr/initramfs_data.cpio
/home/eric/linux-cortexm-1.12.0/linux/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: line 329:  1957 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) usr/gen_init_cpio ${cpio_list} > ${cpio_tfile}
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio] Error 139
make: *** [usr] Error 2


Yuk. Since then I have not been able to get around this. I have done 'make clean' and 'make oldconfig', which got me a build which failed to compile a driver that I don't need. I once was able to get a new distro to build a default kernel but that of course helps only a little. Now, bizarrely, the build *always* does this, even after blowing away the whole tree, tools and all, and rebuilding it. I have also run amuk in the /tmp directory. 

Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know the cause? 

If all I want is SPI support, what do I need to tell menuconfig? I thought my entries made sense.
