Did you check the md5 sum of your kernel tarball before you extracted it?

ooo...You need to install the linux26-headers. I can't find this on kernel.org atm, but here's a mirrored copy:

http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/distf....6.8.1.tar.bz2



There is also a -r1 patch that's in that same directory - linux-2.6.8.1-sh-headers-patch.bz2

Edit: Also you should re-compile glibc with the new headers once you install them.
