G'day managers,
I'd like to perform a kernel build on a DEC2000/300 AXP, running DU 4.0B.
But when trying to do that I receive the following message:

--------

ovlev1:[/sys/conf] => doconfig -c GENERIC

*** KERNEL CONFIGURATION AND BUILD PROCEDURE ***

Saving /sys/conf/GENERIC as /sys/conf/GENERIC.bck

Do you want to edit the configuration file? (y/n) [n]:


*** PERFORMING KERNEL BUILD ***
Makefile:890: *** Recursive variable `target_machine' references itself
(eventually). Stop.

*** WARNING ***
An error has occurred during system configuration. A partial listing
of the error log file (./errs) follows:

Makefile:890: *** Recursive variable `target_machine' references itself
(eventually). Stop.
Press <RETURN> to continue:

Do you want to edit the configuration file? (y/n) [n]:

*** NOTE ***
A new kernel for this machine could not be successfully created.

Restoring original configuration file - /sys/conf/GENERIC

-----------


The following things can be found at the 890th line in the
/usr/sys/GENERIC/Makefile:

genassym.o: ${cpu}/genassym.c
        ${CC} ${GENASSYM_CFLAGS} -c ${cpu}/genassym.c


I've got all Kernel building subsets and the latest DU Patch Kit installed
on the machine.
Could anybody help to solve this problem?
Thanx,
Rob
