include/asm should be a symlink to your machine-dependent asm-dir. I guess it should be asm-i386.
I think someone has copied your kernel from one place to another without care for symlinks. Just do a
rm -rf include/asm or mv include/asm include/oldasm
if you are scary and then
cd include; ln -s asm-i386 asm; cd ..
If your terminal is configured correctly, a 'make menuconfig' is much more comfortable.
