Not so sure myself -- I just know not to touch them.  Doing so will
surely cause instant death.

Looks like you're missing a 'make clean'in there after your 'make dep'
command.  Also, if you're compiling a newer kernel (i.e., 2.0.36+ or
2.2.x), you're almost sure to need to run 'make bzImage' instead of
'make zImage' simply because of the sheer size of the kernel produced
after compiling.
