Are you using identical configs for both machines or not?

Are you sure both machines really have the same kernel source?

Have you tried if a 'make mrproper' makes a difference (normally it should 
not)?

Do both machines have the same build environment (gcc version, binutils, 
etc)?

If you need additional help, please post the exact error messages and the 
kernel config for the failing machine.

Cheers,
FJP

P.S. Why are you building the kernels on two machines instead of doing the 
builds on one machine and then copying and installing a build for the 
second? That could save a lot of build time, even if you don't use 
identical configs.
