I am really sorry for you struggling with this. I'll add few remarks. You
do not need to clone all the time, just make sure your kernel tree is clean
by issuing

make clean

You may also check with git to see if you changed something unintentionally

git status

The option -j3 is not general, 3 stands (as a rule of thumb) for the
number_of_cpu_cores + 1, maybe your PC has more then 2 cores...

Also, what about kernel config? There is one at
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/ but you do not use it? Normally
someone needs to issue make blah_defconfig or the like. Or the existing
config could be copied to .config

cp eoma68-a20-config /path/to/kernel/dir/.config

I think that could probably solve your current issue. But as you I'm
learning here, so warranty whatsoever. :)

Anyway, I encourage you and others here to switch as soon as possible to
the sunxi-3.4 kernel supported by linux-sunxi community. It is very well
supported and you can always find someone on the irc. Once you decide to
give it a try just show up there for help!
