If I just run "make" the system builds successfully, so I am not exactly sure what's wrong.  Perhaps it's as simple as a missing dependency?  This came about because I was attempting to build iptables without having built the kernel and was getting yet different build failures, but I have not reliably reproduced them from a blank slate yet.  Will advise.
