I do not see either of these symptoms, and nobody else has reported them. # make -f $KBUILD_SRCTREE_000/Makefile-2.5 xconfig Using ARCH='i386' AS='as' LD='ld' CC='/usr/bin/gcc' CPP='/usr/bin/gcc -E' AR='ar' HOSTAS='as' HOSTLD='gcc' HOSTCC='gcc' HOSTAR='ar' Generating global Makefile phase 1 (find all inputs) (cd /build/kaos/object-2.5.14/.tmp_config/links/ && /build/kaos/object-2.5.14/scripts/tkparse < config.in-2.5) >> /build/kaos/object-2.5.14/scripts/kconfig.tk xconfig menu displays, clicking save and exit ends xconfig and drops back to the command prompt, it does not do anything else. >"make oldconfig" is broken btw, if the .config contains something >unknown (i.e. NEW).
