I found it necessary to do a "make mrproper" recently in order to
rebuild everything so that the kernel and its modules would play
nice together.  It turns out that the generated include files are
not removed when you do "make clean".

If you do resort to using "make mrproper", be sure to make copy the
.config file first, because "make mrproper" blows it away too.  I.e,
do something like the following:

    cp .config MyConfig
    make mrproper
    cp MyConfig .config
    make oldconfig
    make bzImage
    make modules
    ...
