:jump.  The error message above shows up during a link phase so it doesn't
:make sense as a make dep to me.

Hubert,

   make dep compiles a utility called conmakehash which is used to
   initialize the unicode tables in the kernel. This has to be done in the
   make dep step because conmakehash generates an include file
   (uni_hash.tbl) that will be needed during the compilation of the kernel
   (that is why you have a linking stage in make dep).
   
Jim,

   Looks like you had troubles during your ELF upgrade. Make sure you 
   have up-to-date libc, binutil, gcc, and related libs.
