I extracted 2.4.18 src tree, patched (no errors while untarring the
archive or patching). I did `make menuconfig`, loaded external config file
created from 2.4.18-pre2, exited and saved setting from menuconfig, run
`make dep`.

No `make mrproper` at all.

Hmm, I have:

$ ls -la include/asm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 12 11:32 include/asm -> asm-i386
$ ls -la include/asm-i386
total 648
drwxr-xr-x 2 573 573 4096 Jul 12 11:31 .

So, what to do now? ;)
