Kernel compilation problems

I just installed arch 0.7.2 on my laptop, but im having trouble compiling a new kernel.  Does anyone have any idea what this means:

HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep

                 from /usr/include/limits.h:145,

Re: Kernel compilation problems

Did you get the source from kernel.org? Arch does not install it by default.

Re: Kernel compilation problems

Yes, it's the 2.6.17.11 (and i checked 2.6.7.10).  This happens when ever I try make xconfig or make menuconfig and when i run makepkg with the pkgbuild from the custom ABS wiki.  It looks like i'm missing some files somewhere.
