include/asm-$arch/offset.h apears to be an autogenerated file produced
by the build scritps.

The (fairly) reliable steps I usually take to build a kernel are
make mrpoper (will wipe out .config - back it up first)
make {menu,old,}config
make 
etc

But the thing I have found important is to start with as clean a kernel
tree as possible, and then set up the configuration, and then build.
make is fairly fussy about time stamps, so it may just not rebuild
something when it should.  cleaning the tree and starting again may
just fix it.
