Thaty needs to be done BEFORE the `make dep` step as `make dep` can
produce dependencies that are susceptible to changes therein.

That message suggests that you inserted a space or tab character in your
EXTRAVERSION string somewhere. I don't have any of the 2.4 kernels to
hand, but here's what I did with 2.2.19 not long ago...
Q> VERSION = 2
Q> PATCHLEVEL = 2
Q> SUBLEVEL = 19
Q> EXTRAVERSION = -rhw
That works fine here, so if yours still doesn't work (after making the
change noted above), then report what your line actually looks like and
I'll try it out and advise.
Best wishes from Riley.
