Subject: Why does xconfig not work for me?

Hello!
I should be grateful if someone could help me in solving a small problem.
I have installed YDL 2.1 on my iMac, with MacOS 9. As I wanted to examine
the kernel, I launched xconfig, but it failed, as shown by this output:
[root@sirius /root]# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.10
[root@sirius linux-2.4.10]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-ppc asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/ppc/config.in >> kconfig.tk
drivers/net/Config.in: 278: unknown command
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
On the other hand, menuconfig seems to work correctly:
[root@sirius linux-2.4.10]# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-ppc asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10/scripts/lxdialog'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.10/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/ppc/config.in
Using defaults found in arch/ppc/defconfig
Preparing scripts: functions,
parsing.....................................................................
.done.
(this is the period during which menuconfig is active)
Your kernel configuration changes were NOT saved.
[root@sirius linux-2.4.10]#
I should like to have xconfig work as well. In this case, the reference to
drivers/net/Config.int seems not to make sense: this directory cannot be
accessed directly from /scripts; and line 278 reads
dep_tristate'National Semiconduct DP83820 support' CONFIG_NS83820
$CONFIG_PCI
In what way could this be relevant? Can anyone enlighten me?
R.B.
