Its not a BUG, I reproduced this same error as well at one stage when
going to 2.0.28.    Its a mess up in the makefile, it doesn't propely define
the variable SOUND_CONFIG_DATE.

Try this

cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make config/menuconfig/xconfig (whichever you prefer)
make dep
make zImage (or whatever kernel option you want)

that cleared it up for me from memory.....

anyway good luck, but just because you get a compile error, doesn't mean there
is a bug.    I'm sure the kernel development team gets loads of this type
of mail.
