I had same make problem this weekend, I had to add a symbolic link to the "asm-i386" directory in the /usr/src directory named "asm", a link to the /usr/src/linux folder did not work. I kept terrible notes and am at work now. A simple drag-n-drop from source folder, copy as link with a rename should work.

Once done, it took my Celeron 433 about 3 hours to complete.

No claims to ability or knowledge!
