Running 'make oldconfig' within the sources directory by default uses
whatever config-x.y.z is the highest version available in /boot.
Otherwise, copying the config file desired to the sources directory
followed by running 'make oldconfig' will generate a new one based on
the config file copied.
You could than run the diff on the gentoo config file and the vanilla
one and take it from there.
