My error, sorry.  I thought I did say it, but I did not.

Attached below is the output.  It wrote a new .config, which it
appears was not changed.

ajglap linux # diff .config .config.old

I note however that I will be following richard brown's advice and
applying the procedure in
http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/bugs.htm.  Item 3 is.

    If you compiled your kernel with "make oldconfig", then clear your
    .config and manually configure it all again. You'd be suprised at how
    many problems this fixes. Sometimes it is user error, sometimes it is
    just oddities with the kernel build system. I personally don't like
    "make oldconfig".

thanks,
