Dave,

It sounds like either [a] you aren't issuing the make command from
the directory where the relevant Makefile is located, or [b]
contrary to what's suggested by the instructions, the Makefile
doesn't contain a rule called 'oldconfig'.   If I was a gambler, my
money would be on [a] ... is there an instruction to cd to a
particular directory that you've missed?
