I use this all the time and it works OK for me. Been using it for at
least 5 years and it is not as pretty as the other 2 options, but works
fine :)

There is a bug in the code :)
This fixed it for me:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-466.html
(that is, edit the file $BUILD_DIR/scripts/kconfig/Makefile and search
for print-multi-os-directory and take out the space for between:
$(HOSTCXX) and -print-multi-os-directory
so that the lines look like that posted in the above link.
