I'm experimenting the same error... let's see what could be wrong.

How did you install binutils ? I think it's a problem there. If you overwrite the files in /usr/local/binutils-2.17 on the ones in / then the kernel will compile but crashes at boot.

I simply upgraded the package with the 2.17 in slackware-current.

Try upgrading it manualy from sources.That does the job :) but set the prefix "/"

Yep, it works, but I cannot figure out why!

what version of binutils did you install from source ?
2.17 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/ or
2.17.50.0.14 from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/ ?

The last one, the release on gnu.org seems quite outdated. The strangest thing is that this version matches the last on slackware-current repository, but seems like to have different behaviours.
