kernel bzImage and zImage problem

I have kernel 2.2.14 and when doing a "make zImage" or "make bzImage" i run into the following problem. Skipping most of the messages, i come to this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.35/arch/i386/lib'
make all_targets
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.35/arch/i386/lib'

make: *** [dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2

I did a make dep, clean, and before that even a mrproper. Does anyone know what is causing this problem, and how can i fix it?
Thanx

what do you mean that you have 2.2.14 kernel while the error message shows that you are in the 2.0.35 source tree.
make sure you have /usr/src/linux point to /usr/src/linux-2.2.14 if the latter contains your 2.2.14 source files.
If not, hum...
