That isn't true is it? In the absence of a .config file, does
menuconfig really look for a configuration somewhere other than its
own kernel source tree? Looks to me like it's getting the
configuration from the defaults.
ecashin@meili bk-linux$ make menuconfig
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts
gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/.fixdep.d -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/fixdep scripts/fixdep.c
...
./scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
#
# using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig
