Sure, there are lots of people on this list that can help, but you've
got to help us. _You_ have to provide much more info...

ie.

 - alpha platform
 - kernel version
 - /usr/src/linux/.config file
 - last 20 or so lines of the make output
 - are you following the build procedure correctly?
	- ie. make config; make dep; make clean; make boot
 - etc, etc

ie. reports like yours are woefully inadequate to try to debug
problems.

Carpe viam,
