Hmm, I cannot reproduce the error. :( I'm using next-20130919 currently 
(x86_64), and if I try to just "make O=lib" it fails w/o my patches.  
The only file that should depend upon error_strings.h is lib/string.c.

Is this some other subtle bug currently in -next or are you just 
supposed to run "make prepare" first? I injected the generation of 
error_names.h as a dependency of prepare1 (rightly or wrongly).  I'm 
still studying the kbuild process to try to find a better place for it 
or to at least clean up the way it's generated.
