You can use rpm -bp to "build-prep" the sources -- unpack and apply patches, so you can pretend to be /bin/sh and run through the same steps to get to the same error message. Once you can reproduce the error message yourself, you can either find where "make oldconfig" is defined and insert debugging statements until the error is clear, use strace or ltrace to do your debugging statements for you, or very closely inspect your new configs/* that might have subtle syntax errors. (FOO=N isn't correct, #FOO is not set is correct.) I don't know if the .config file needs to be in the correct order for make oldconfig or if it can deal with out-of-order answers -- it is probably pretty easy to get the correct ordering screwed up if you patched the configs by hand.. Best of luck. -- http://www.wirex.com/
