Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hi,
|
| I've been trying to compile openmoko kernel and I can't even start
| because of this dummy error:
|
- 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| $ ./build dummy
| scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig
|
| scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig
|   CHK     include/linux/version.h
| /bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

This is coming out of not having a branch initialized in git I think
you'll find.

Try

git branch

in that dir and you'll see some error in parenthesis.
