Three cheers for SLUG! The compile has completed successfully, and my world is once again whole :-) I compile my kernels as root, so permissions aren't a problem. I know I probably shouldn't, but I'm old, and set in my ways.

There are indeed two dashes in front of the --oformat option. I read the manpage for ld three times, and still managed to miss that. So, edit /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/Makefile, and change all instances of -oformat to --oformat, and everything's cool. Thanks to Ken and Antony.
