Kernel Compile Error 2.5.53

Just as the linker kicks into action i get this error

I think there may be a bug in the configure script. Does anyone know how to fix it. Has anyone succesfully compiled a 2.5.* kernel recently?

Yes. 2.5.53 compiles fine for me. Sounds like some of your dependencies are broken. Try doing a 'make clean dep && make bzImage && make modules' to see if your kernel will compile. It is possible that you forgot to include a dependency in your kernel configuration (looks like input core support...). If all else fails, do a 'make mrproper', reconfigure your kernel, then compile.

Well i changed "Input devices" (seems like the new name for input core) to built in rather than module and it compiled..
