A tip: 'make menuconfig' is quite a bit more user-friendly than 'make
config'.

^^^^^^
You're building an a.out kernel. I don't know how well it's tested that
late in the 2.0 series; try reconfiguring the kernel to be ELF, then run
'make clean zImage', and see what you get.
However, the undefined references don't look right; I don't ever remember
seeing them, although it's been over a year since I've run 2.0, so my
memory could be faulty.
