Sam,

thanks for your qualified hints.
I tried as you did suggest it to me and then it works in the subdir.
Then i retried with "make bzImage" and came to that point in 
compilation for the origin of the failure. (see appended log,
"noise" on language macros an similar stripped...)

As you, and possibly others can see,
the compilation happens from the arch/i386/kernel/timers subdir,
where we got lead to by th arch/i386/kernel subdir directly
and in this case the needed settings seem to lack despite they
were present in a former stage of the compilation.

Having a qualified fix done by a skilled person for that bad behaviour
in any future standard kernel would be nice thing. Thank you so far.

-Alex.
