kbuild: menuconfig with O=<dir> creates empty include/config in base
When doing "make O=test menuconfig" the base kernel directory picks up a new empty directory include/config which stops further "make O=temp" builds as the make system thinks the base directory is not clean.
I've had a look, but it is not easy to see where this is hapening.
So far only menuconfig seems to have triggered it, xconfig seems to work.

I cannot reproduce this problem. Can you provide more complete steps to make it happen?
I've had similar problems occasionally but I haven't been able to track them down...
