BUG: Corrupted Makefile problem in -pre8

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

  I have suffered a make file target failure in -pre8.  The situation
is that I have a 'clean' system, freshly defrosted compiled kernel
tree etc.

  I take freeswan--pre8 and tell it to "make oldgo", which now makes a
module ipsec.o rather then a static one (sigh).  It worked just fine.
I then did something I don't often do, I did a "make minstall" rather
then a "make kinstall", and now I get this error:

  I see no mangled binary as the above would suggest:
east# find . ../linux-2.4.20/ -name ip\*dir
east# 


  The making of /kernel/ is clearly an error.  I suspect that our
makefile is corrupted.  I would fix it, but I am not free to do that,
here in the USSA or in the Free World so long as Americans live under
the rule of Presidential Declaration...
