that's an allyesconfig kernel and i cannot reproduce the failure with 
linux-next v2.6.26-rc8-6206-gf1c7436:

  [...]
  RELOCS  arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs
  BUILD   arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.all
  GZIP    arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz
  LD      arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.o
  LD      arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  OFFSETS arch/x86/boot/offsets.h
  OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin
  AS      arch/x86/boot/header.o
  LD      arch/x86/boot/setup.elf
  OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/setup.bin
  BUILD   arch/x86/boot/bzImage
 Root device is (8, 17)
 Setup is 12524 bytes (padded to 12800 bytes).
 System is 17840 kB
 CRC bccb6201
 Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#10848)

(nor has anything substantial change in that area changed in the x86 
tree recently that sticks out at first sight.)
