Same result as ever. I use make nconfig, which is somewhat easier
to navigate around. Only once I tried to manually change .config,
because revdep-rebuild wanted to rebuild sys-fs/udisks, which
complained about CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND not being set, but a silent
make oldconfig removed the line automatically. I did the change
manually because CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND doesn't seem to exist in 3.2.12.

Anyway, thank you for thinking about it.
