I googled for how to build the kernel various places but I have so far found 
none with an exhaustive list of prerequisites. I don't know how to check in 
the absence of a prerequisite-checking target in the Makefile.

My original posting shows the output from make. It doesn't say anything about 
missing tools. I don't have autoconf or bison installed (but I could: they're 
on the distribution disk). There doesn't appear to be a tool checking target 
in the Makefile.

Rosegarden complains that my timer resolution is too low. The current kernel 
was compiled with a 250 Hz resolution and I am trying to compile the kernel to 
provide something higher maybe 1000 Hz.
