I can confirm this. I recompiled (3 times) linux-2.4.18-pa5, and I was
just able to compile a static kernel without error message.
The message will occur if you compile a kernel with modules. It's the
depmod command in "make modules_install" that causes the trouble.

But obviously the modules are created and installed. If you do a
simple "depmod -a" (without any additional arguments as in
"make modules_install"), it doesn't complain.
And it also seems that the modules work (haven't tested this too much)!
