Thanks for everyone's help. It wasn't a kernel problem but a kernel
*build* problem! The culprit was Makefile.i386. Kudos to

for putting me on the right track. The i386 makefile didn't clean up
everything it builds. As a result the *assym* files are never
rebuilt and the .s files are always compiled with the configuration
of the first make of the first config in the directory.
The -current Makefile.i386 fixes this particular problem.
