Hi Emiliano,
I had this same probl when I first tried to compile a kernel on FC1, and
the solution was to run 'make mrproper' right right before trying
anything with the fresh source tree. NOTE: it wipes out your .config
file, so make sure you have a copy of it somewhere, or be prepared to
configure it all over again.
Now, all I do when a new kernel comes out is:
1. cd [new kernel dir]; make mrproper
2. copy .config from previous kernel source tree
3. make oldconfig
4. make dep bzImage modules modules_install install
