One thing that might cause the problem is lack of space in /tmp.  Both cc and
asld start doing weird things when space on /tmp runs out.  Nowadays I always
when rebuilding the kernel mount a diskette with an empty filesystem on /tmp
to be sure that I have enough free space.  360K is more than enough; the 
~50K you usually have free on the root file system often isn't.  
  Of course, it may not be that at all.  But I've had no problems with
recompiling the kernel with the new tty driver (apart from spending two
days messing with it until I discovered that 4.77MHz machines just can't
handle 2400 baud no matter how much you twiddle the parameters :-(.
