Here it is:

Menuconfig has encountered a possible error in one of the kernel's configuration files and is unable to continue. Here is the error report:

Q> ./scripts/Menuconfig: MCmenu74: command not found

Please report this to the maintainer <[email protected]>. You may also send a problem report to <[email protected]>.

Please indicate the kernel version you are trying to configure and which menu you were trying to enter when this error occurred.

make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

Another strangeness: Some drivers do not build and finding the errors is difficult because the error messages come only during linking. When I build the kernel usually run this command:

make (bzImage | modules) 2> /some/file .

During compiling i haven't get any compile error, this seems as the linker goes searching for files not compiled:

ld: cannot open ircomm_tty.o: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [ircomm-tty.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [ircomm] Error 2
make[1]: *** [irda] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2

Cheers,
Frederik Nosi

There is something wrong in the ALSA Config.in, fix already posted. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com?l=linux-kernel

An error happened when compiling ircomm-tty or one of the composite objects. Try using:
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=0
Then you will see the error.

Fix already posted to lkml, and present in Linus's latest BK tree.
