i'm a little confused because you say you're only trying to build a
kernel, but my first guess would be that it's looking for the "new
toolchain" bits and you don't have any.

probably solution: go to the top of your new source tree and type

	./build.sh -t

that should build a new toolchain for you.  then you should be able to
process as usual.
