linux-2.4.30-rc1/include/asm: Too many levels of symbolic links

[Martin MOKREJŠ <mmokrejs@ribosome.natur.cuni.cz>]

Hi,
 I recompiled current kernel to test something, and have realized everything
went well including "make modules_install", but no System.map was generated.
So I dug around and the "make dep" did not work well:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.30-rc1/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.30-rc1'
make update-modverfile
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.30-rc1'
/usr/src/linux-2.4.30-rc1/include/linux/modversions.h was updated
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.30-rc1'

This is a gentoo box. I cannot comment on the find(1) binary features (see above).
Any clues?
