No, but similar things. Things to check:

/usr/include/linux is a symlink to /usr/local/src/linux/include/linux 
(or wherever you keep your kernesource/include/linux)
/usr/include/asm is a symlink to /usr/local/src/linux/include/asm

make oldconfig clean dep bzImage modules

If that fails, make mrproper and reconfigure, then make dep bzImage modules.

Did you apply the 2.4.11-dontuse patch before 2.4.12? It's a (very very 
slightly) broken kernel but it is required before you can patch is to 
2.4.12. Of course, patch-2.4.12 should've failed if this was the case...

At a last resort get a new kernel tarball. I can't think why you could 
need to but something really crazy could be happening here.
