Hi,
You have two problems at present that I can see from the error messages. First: Are you able to link the kernel? That is without creating the bootable floppy. A normal link of the kernel should test this just fine (make sure that no configuration changes were made, else you will boot the new configuration which will cause endless trouble later.)
Two: If the normal compile works then you will need to check the Link Kit installation. No files should be deleted or missing from it. You can remove and reinstall the package and then try the kernel build/boot floppy procedure again.
