I do NOT get errors compiling kftpd.c with make zImage.

Oh wait.. missed a step (I have scripts to remember/do all of this for me..). Let's try again:

export PATH="/usr/local/armtools-empeg/bin:$PATH"

cp arch/arm/def-configs/empeg-car2  .config

make oldconfig && make dep && make clean && make zImage

cp arch/arm/boot/zImage my.kernel.zImage

Cheers
