Try this:
cd to your linux source directory
copy your .config file elsewhere
cp .config /tmp/config
Make the sources pristine with
make mrproper
Restore the config
cp /tmp/config .config
make oldconfig
make dep && make clean
Then try to rebuild with
make bzImage
Many times errors are caused by not cleaning out everything from
scratch. There may be cruft left in from one of the developers that's
causing your build to fail.
