Kernel not compiling

So i'm not having any luck lately with compiling any kernels. I'm currently trying to build the latest zen stable and keep getting the following message a few seconds after i finish menuconfig...

make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

And of course, i googled this but couldn't find anything helpful. So i'm hoping maybe somebody here knows what might be up.

Re: Kernel not compiling

Out of all the useful messages make spits out, that is the most generic - thus most useless - info there is.

Don't look at the end, look at the top. Paste your whole log.

Oops, maybe this should be of more use

I get the same error whether i'm using the generic config or creating my own.

Re: Kernel not compiling

Googling

include/linux/tracepoint.h:80:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'synchronize_sched'

does not seem to produce any results besides this thread, the AUR page for kernel26zen-git and some gentoo thread that doesn't seem to have a solution either. Did you check with the authors of the zen patchset?
