find: /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/asm: Too many levels of symbolic links

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

Hi,
 again I've hit some wird problem doing "make dep" for 2.4 kernel:

I've extracted the linxu-2.4.30.tar.gz file, copied .config from
previous src-tree, ran `make oldconfig', did `make menuconfig',
and finally `make dep':

Executing `find /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/asm /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/linux /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/scsi /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/net /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/math-emu \( -name SCCS -o -name .svn \) -prune -o -follow -name \*.h ! -name modversions.h -print` works just fine.

There are no symlinks under /usr/src/linux-2.4.30/include/asm-i386/

Any clues? :( Please Cc: me in replies.
