Hmm. I'm trying to build 2.6.20-rc2 on a little powerpc box with
arch/powerpc/configs/linkstation_defconfig, and I get:

paranoid@kuro-2 /usr/src/linux $ make zImage
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep

HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o

MODPOST vmlinux
ln: accessing `arch/powerpc/boot/zImage': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/zImage] Error 1
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

So, uh, are we forgetting to go into the right subdirectory to make the
actual zImage, or what? If I'm just doing something wrong, I'd love to
know what it is.

I'll follow up here on lkml if I diagnose this further. Thanks,
