I was attempting to locally build and install the 2.6.28.2 source package 
from the pclos repo.  My 'makeit' script makes a BzImage then modules.  It 
is about 4 lines into the make modules when it bailed out if that option 
was checked in a make xconfig, and then my makeit script, which was doing 
it after the make modules_install, also bailed out with the same message.

Could it be that my doing the build sequencing by script, was somehow 
bypassing this export function above?

In which case what pre-function should I issue from my script so this 
particular function is not bypassed?

Or might this be considered a Makefile bug?

Its all moot now anyway, I have had synaptic install the ready made pae 
version from the pclos repo, and it seems to be working normally for about 
the last 45 minutes.

Thank you very much for the informative reply Michal.
