It seems if you have a broken asm/ symlink in include/ (which happened as a 
result of the x86 header moves, for me) the kernel won't try to update it 
appropriately, and this breaks "make prepare".

$ make    ARCH=x86_64 prepare                                                                                                   
  CHK     include/linux/version.h                                                                                                                            
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h                                                                                                                         
  GEN     include/asm/asm-offsets.h                                                                                                                          
/bin/sh: include/asm/asm-offsets.h: No such file or directory                                                                                                
make[1]: *** [include/asm/asm-offsets.h] Error 1                                                                                                             
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

rm -f include/asm fixes it

This was just from taking a 2.6.27 tree, git clean -d -f, git pull, make 
oldconfig. Might be a nice thing to fix?
