makefile: "no rule to make target 'arch/x86_64/Makefile'" linux kernel 2.2.0

I'm trying to config my kernel (2.2.0) but when I use make menuconfig make says: No rule to make target 'arch/x86_64/Makefile'. It is a wrong response because there is no directory named x86_64 in arch. Is there a problem with the kernel tree?

The source of my kernel tree can be found here

The "problem" is that the x86_64 architecture was not yet supported in 1999. You simply need to get a kernel from this millennium if you want to target this architecture, or painstakingly backport the necessary code changes to support it from a newer version.
