Thanks to Dr. Blinn I was able to solve the problem by taking the config
file to another system and building the kernel on that machine. Then just
moved it back to the original system.
Thanks to all those who replied.

! My guess (and it is mostly a guess) is that you have a bad patch
! of some kind on the system. Something in the kernel build files
! is probably just plain wrong. Can you build a kernel WITHOUT any
! of the AFS support involved?
!
! The symbols "ld" is complaining about are these:
!
! > Error: Undefined:
! > ccmn_iob_req_li
! > ccmn_iob_mask_li
!
! In V5.1A as of the BL24 patch kit, these are defined and used in
! two places; one is in the SCSI/CAM subsystem, where they are in
! the source file io/cam/pdrv3_common.c, and the other is in the
! lock information database, kernel/kern/lockinfo.c. Since in the
! CAM subsystem they are both defined and referenced, I doubt the
! problem is there, unless you have a version of cam.mod that does
! not define the symbols at all; in kern/lockinfo.c they are used
! but not defined, so the unresolved reference is probably that on
! this particular system you have a current kern/lockinfo.c and an
! old cam.mod, and I believe that kern/lockinfo.c is delivered in
! source form in the kernel build part of the product kit, but I
! would have to triple check to be certain.
!
! Again, probably a bad kernel cam.mod file, but not certain, I'd
! be unlikely to be able to reproduce it.
!
! By the way, you should be able to take your config file for this
! system to another system running the same software revision and
! build the kernel there, then move it to this system. If you can
! not do the build on a system where other kernels do build OK, you
! have a broken config file on this system. If you take the config
! file from another system where it does build OK and try to build
! it on this system and it fails, that's evidence that you have a
! problem with the kernel build environment on this system.
