Compile error with make bootpfile (2.6.25.4)

Compile error with make bootpfile (2.6.25.4)

[Wakko Warner]

I'm cross compiling a kernel for my alpha on x86.  I'm seeing this:
  gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/alpha/boot/tools/.objstrip.d -Iarch/alpha/boot -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o arch/alpha/boot/tools/objstrip /usr/src/linux/dist/2.6.25.4/arch/alpha/boot/tools/objstrip.c

make[1]: *** [bootpfile] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/dist/2.6.25.4'

I called make like this:
make -C /usr/src/linux/dist/2.6.25.4 O=$PWD ARCH=alpha V=1 CROSS_COMPILE=alpha-linux-gnu- bootpfile

My host gcc is:
gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070514 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-7)

My target gcc is:
alpha-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070514 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-7)

I decided to just copy over the sources so that I wouldn't need the -C and
O= on the make line.  I also modified the Make file so that I didn't need to
specify ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE.  I removed support for a.out in objstrip.  I
was finally able to get it to compile, but it still didn't work.  Not sure
if it was due to the fact it's using x86 headers instead of alpha headers or
what.

I tried asking on linux-alpha, but that list seems to be fairly dead.

In u'r .config file , have u enable for both ELF & a.out support.
