From a newbie (for what it's worth), I had the same problem when trying
to rebuild the kernel.  It blew up looking for piggy.o.  I shutdown, rebooted,
reran make mrproper and then make xconfig using the same .config I had 
saved.  This time the build ran perfectly.  Never did figure out what the 
original problem was, but since I got a good build I didn't waste too much
time investigating.  So, I'd try the build again to see if you get the same
result.  Good luck.
