I just noticed this error log. It appears that the kernel Makefile is
trying to build mkdep (tool used for compiling) but something is wrong
with your libc setup. You will need to fix this problem before you can
compile a kernel (with updated serial driver or otherwise). What order
did you install the development packages in? (If they were installed
in the wrong order, that could cause a problem.)
