Read the help

config X86_MCE
        bool "Machine check support" if EMBEDDED
        default y
        help
           Include a machine check error handler to report hardware errors.
           This version will require the mcelog utility to decode some
           machine check error logs. See
           ftp://ftp.x86-64.org/pub/linux/tools/mcelog

Your distribution is broken then. In fact it is supposed to run
mcelog regularly from a cronjob to log machine check events into
a disk log. Complain to them.
