I should maybe add that I'm running this in a chrooted Debian Sarge
environment (running under Debian Sid).  I don't know if perhaps the
chroot could be screwing up the make scripts in detecting the
architecture.  
Because its saying "cannot stat `/usr/src/linux-2.6.13/arch/um/Kconfig_block" it makes me think that maybe its trying to build for architecture "um" for some reason?
