can't compile kernel

I cannot compile the linux kernel.  Everytime I try, I receive this output at a seemingly random portion of the process:

/bin/sh: cmp: command not found
Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try setting CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

This has happened with multiple kernel compilation attempts and across multiple configurations - both with mkpkg and make.  I have tried setting CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS.  It makes no difference.   Can anyone explain what this is or how to fix it?

"cmp: command not found"

pacman -S diffutils
