Is my kernel compile freezing, or is this normal?

I've had gentoo working for a while now and recompiled my kernel before, but I can't remember what happened when it finished after this command below:

make dep && make clean vmlinux modules modules_install

I needed to enable some stuff so that direct rendering would work so I went through menuconfig and then I did the above command to make the kernel.. it starts to compile but then after a littl ewhile it stops here:

find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.22-ben2; fi

Should it be stopping there? I don't really know how to figure this out...

Thanks for any assistance

Nothing to worry about.

That looks like the normal end of "make modules_install"
