here's another bugreport, i get this build failure with latest -git 
(which includes your fix above):

   CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
   CHK     include/linux/compile.h
 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `firmware/tigon/tg3.bin', needed by `firmware/tigon/tg3.bin.gen.o'.  Stop.
 make: *** [firmware] Error 2

with:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Tue_Jul_15_09_38_58_CEST_2008.bad

such configs worked before.

(i'd exclude TIGON3 from my qa builds but i've got tg3 hardware.)
