I remember a bug in "conmakehash.c" that caused it not to be able to
produce that table. Conmakehash is compiled and run during the kernel
build in order to make that table. I had to fix some of the logic, because
whoever wrote it simply believed the manpage for "isxdigit(3)". The
description of the return value for that function is:

RETURN VALUE
The values returned are nonzero if the character c falls
into the tested class, and a nonzero value if not.

... so I can see why there was some confusion.

I don't remember exactly which kernel had this problem, but I am certain
it was between 1.3.60 and 1.3.71. This probably isn't your problem, however,
since I was able to build 1.3.71 without any problems.
