When kisskb gets an error in building a kernel, it tries to bisect the
problem starting from a known good kernel.  The above error occurs
during the bisection process not when building the original kernel.  I
guess we need to be a bit more careful when reporting the errors.  Sorry
about that.

It was actually building commit
"[ad33ea3a8d2ec324dc0f46b6ae404d824d2b349b] bnx2x: Missing mask when
calculating flow control", I think.
