I don't suppose, you changed your processor type w/out doing a "make
mrproper" first?  By default the kernel compiles with either i486 or
i586 and a make dep links all appropriate symbols.

If you want to change the type of processor you're compiling for, then
you need to start fresh (make mrproper), configure your kernel (make
mennuconfig), make dependencies (make dep) and then make your modules
(make modules && make modules_install).
